departments. We should better regulate the exercise of judicial power, refine
the systems through which judicial justice is delivered and evaluated, and do

more to ensure the fairness, consistency, and authority of judicial decisions.
Procuratorial bodies should conduct stronger supervision and step up their
efforts in the sphere of public-interest litigation. We must protect people’s

personal rights, property rights, and personality rights as mandated by law.
Long-term mechanisms for regulating enterprise-related law enforcement
should be refined, and steps must be taken to both prevent and rectify

unauthorized cross-jurisdictional and profit-driven law enforcement. We

observed, contracts are honored, and justice is safeguarded throughout

society.

and measures should be improved to make it more convenient for people
from the two regions to develop careers and live on the mainland.
Hong Kong and Macao have the backing of the motherland and maintain
close connection with the rest of the world. These unique strengths and

important roles should be further leveraged. We should consolidate and
