Abstract

On April 26, 2006, the 10th Plenary Session of the 11th Party Committee of Zhejiang Province adopted the Decision of the Party Committee of Zhejiang Province Concerning the Building of Zhejiang under the Rule of Law, specifying the strategy of building Zhejiang under the rule of law and taking it as the overall carrier for comprehensively carrying out the basic strategy of governing the country under the rule of law and building a socialist country under the rule of law. This is also the major strategic arrangement made when comrade Xi Jinping worked in Zhejiang, and suggests that Zhejiang stays ahead in carrying out the strategy of governing the country under the rule of law and fully reflects comrade Xi Jinping’s governance strategy of sizing up the situation, looking far ahead and aiming high, grasping the overall situation and taking the long-term perspective.

The Decision of the People's Government of Zhejiang Province on Delegating the Administrative Examination and Approval Items to the Lower Levels and Promoting the Development of the Zhoushan Islands New Area (Zhe Zheng Ling (2012) No. 301), issued in May, 2012, became effective on July 1, 2012. This has laid an important foundation for establishing and improving the system of administrative management in the Zhoushan Islands New Area.

According to statistics, during the period 2003–2007, the per capita number of cases handled by the police from the arrest approval and prosecution departments across the province was 2.25 times the national per capita number, ranking Zhejiang no.1 nationwide.

The data on criminal reconciliation come from Fan Yuehong, The Provincial Procuratorate Regularizes the Reconciliation of Minor Criminal Cases, http://www.zjjcy.gov.cn/jcdt/jccz/200804/t20080430_10118.htm, 2014-09-10.

The data on adjudicatory work here and below mainly come from the work reports of the High People's Court of Zhejiang during the period 2004–2014.

With the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, in August, 2003, the Supreme People's Procuratorate decided to pilot the system of people's supervisors. This is an important reform experiment carried out by the procuratorial organ to strengthen self-building and consciously accept social supervision. Zhejiang was included in the first batch of 10 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) for piloting the system of people's supervisors.

The Chief Procurator of the People's Procuratorate of Zhejiang Chen Yunlong, Deputy Chief Procurator Zhuang Jiannan and the Director of the Division of Civil Administrative Procuratorial Work Fu Guoyun led this reform involving reasoning in judicial instruments, which was later extended to the criminal procuratorial field. The jurisprudential circle regarded these pioneering procuratorial reform measures in China as the Zhejiang phenomenon of "making the rule of law lead the way". See Sun Xiaoxia, An Analysis of the Phenomenon of "Making the Rule of Law Lead the Way" in the Economically Developed Areas, Law Science, 2009(12).
