"The reason such cases are increasing is that our society is in transition when many new problems keep arising while there is no unified credibility system," said vice-director of the Supreme People's Court enforcement bureau surnamed Zhang. "Many people, some with professional help, find loopholes in laws and take advantage of that for their own interest."
The campaign is part of the court's effort to ensure their decisions can be enforced in a timely manner, as "the postponement of carrying out court decisions and failure to ensure debtees' rights have caused a lot of public complaints in recent years," said Sun Jungong, spokesman of the Supreme People's Court.
Last July, the top court and 19 other government departments established a cooperative system to help courts carry out judicial decisions.
It gave the court the right to know bank account information for dishonest debtors, transfer their money, and to ask police to stop them from going abroad.
At that time, more than 7 million cases nationwide had not been closed, and the number is still climbing, according to the top court.
