Jiang Huiling, deputy director of the judicial reform office of the Supreme People's court, who participated in the drafting of the third five year plan for reform, said, "after the first five year plan and the fifth five year plan for judicial reform, the people's court has developed and improved its judicial system and working mechanism to a certain extent, but there is still a big gap compared with the growing demand of the people for judicial system.

At the same time, the people's court also extensively solicited opinions and suggestions from local Party committees and governments, deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, experts and scholars, as well as all sectors of the society. In particular, it listened to the opinions of the people at the grass-roots level and the front-line police, made repeated modifications and improvements, and finally formed 30 reform measures involving five aspects.

"The Supreme Court has carried out a comprehensive analysis of the feasibility of the reform, the difficulties that may be encountered in the reform process and the problems that may arise after the reform, which has enhanced the pertinence and operability of the reform plan. At the same time, the relationship between the current and the long-term, the need and the possibility, the stage goals and the overall goals has been taken into full consideration. It is noted that the new reform measures and the previous relevant reform achievements are interlinked, interrelated and coordinated to ensure the integrity and coordination of the reform.
