explicit goal is actually the opposite and it's likely not just empty words. If you've done business in China as a foreigner over the last few years the court system in particular has actually become more reliable and noticeably quicker. It used to be way more arbitrary and chaotic about ten-ish years ago.

China has a court system? I always thought Chinese law enforcement is basically, "Do something the government doesn't like and you will disappear. Try to run away overseas, and we'll make you an offer you can't refuse: Commit suicide or your family will suffer in your place [1]."

I want to say something glib here but straightfaced I will ask if you are referring to reliably improving the speed and efficiency of the courts' 99.965% [1] conviction rate because that's a number that makes some of my softwares vendors' SLAs look rickety in comparison to.

I'm referring to my personal experience of working in China over the last decade and having come in contact with IP law related issues frequently.

I'm also not at all sure what some statistic about conviction rates in criminal cases has to do with the quality of litigation, arbitration, IP law and the commercial court system. This is a real "I just pulled a random number from Google" take

You didn't specify so I gave you the number I am familiar with on the subject of my own interest, that is the surrender of power into the hands of the arbitrary.

Had you been more specific, I wouldn't have asked.

No guilty plea (More than 97 percent of federal criminal convictions, 95 for state) and prosecutor being selective (only prosecutes case that open-and-shut) means very high conviction rate.
