This was revealed Sunday in a report made by Zhou Qiang, president of the Supreme People's Court, to the ongoing session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
Zhou said the top court had made progress in beefing up information technologies to address the enforcement difficulties.
According to the report, the top court has set up a series of goals for the next five years to deal with enforcement difficulties and to deepen the enforcement reform.
