Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China

The Supreme People's Court is the highest judicial body in China, located in Beijing. It reviews legal cases, oversees lower courts across the country, and issues binding legal interpretations that apply nationwide.

The court was established in October 1949, shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Over time it evolved from military-led management to professional judicial expertise.

The court reflects how Chinese society values property protection and maintaining order through law. You can observe this approach in how cases are handled and decisions are made public.

You can view the building from outside to see where the nation's highest judicial decisions are made. Visit during daytime on weekdays when court operations are active and most visible.

Since 2013, the court maintains a list of individuals and companies that ignore court decisions. This system has recovered substantial sums of money and created a new way to enforce judgments.
