Last year, approximately 326,000 individuals visited prosecuting authorities in China to participate in procuratorial activities, receive legal education, and learn about the work of prosecutors. Li Xuehui, head of the General Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, stated that inviting residents to prosecuting departments promotes public supervision, transparency, and the implementation of the whole-process people's democracy.
Prosecutors nationwide organized over 5,600 activities in 2024, focusing on various hot issues such as protecting women's rights, safeguarding juveniles, and advancing the development of procuratorial technologies. Li emphasized the increasing use of technology by Chinese prosecutors to optimize websites and create online platforms, enhancing accessibility to procuratorial services and improving efficiency.
"Prosecuting authorities will continue the optimized services, with more efforts to better serve people to ensure the public's rights to participate in procuratorial affairs," Li added.
To further enhance people's legal awareness and guide prosecutors in case handling, the top procuratorate issued several batches of influential cases in 2024, covering areas like employment fraud, illegal fund raising, online pyramid selling, and intellectual property. "We will open more cases to uphold justice, meet the public's legal demand and help prevent legal risks," Li concluded.

This whole exercise seems designed to win public favor rather than implement substantive change.

It seems more like a box-ticking exercise than a real step toward a participatory democracy.
