On October 15, a city-wide procuratorial work conference was held in Jinhua. The meeting focused on studying and implementing Xi Jinping’s thoughts on Party building and the rule of law, as well as important instructions on procuratorial work. It also aimed to implement the spirit of the 16th National Procuratorial Work Conference and the 18th Provincial Procuratorial Work Conference. The conference emphasized establishing a correct view of political performance, learning from the “Yiwu development experience,” and advancing the construction of a higher-level safe and rule-of-law Jinhua.

Key Address by Chief Procurator Lin Yiying

Lin Yiying fully affirmed the achievements of Jinhua’s procuratorial organs in recent years. He noted that the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core places high importance on the legal supervision work of procuratorial organs, and that Xi Jinping has issued multiple important instructions, pointing the way for high-quality development of procuratorial work. In the new journey, Jinhua’s procuratorial organs at all levels must firmly practice “daring to supervise, being good at supervision, and bravely conducting self-supervision,” and strive to “walk in the forefront and set an example.” They should continue to deepen the tracing of origins and draw wisdom and strength, effectively fulfilling the duties of the state’s legal supervision organ, and better serve the overall situation, administer justice for the people, and take responsibility for the rule of law.

Lin emphasized the need to deeply practice the expected entrustment, uphold the absolute leadership of the Party, and more firmly integrate the “two establishments” and “two upholds” throughout the entire procuratorial work. He stressed adhering to the constitutional positioning, more firmly making the strengthening of procuratorial supervision and high-quality and efficient case handling the goal and direction. He also called for adhering to judicial service for the people, always making the resolution of pressing difficulties and problems of the people a key task, and ensuring that procuratorial work always moves steadily in the correct direction.

Furthermore, Lin urged full exertion of procuratorial functions, insisting on focusing politically and exerting efforts under the rule of law, raising the political stance and forging political loyalty; adhering to focusing on the main responsibilities and main business, strengthening supervision to demonstrate the power of the rule of law; and adhering to strengthening coordination and constraints, improving mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness of co-governance, and serving the high-quality development and construction of the common prosperity demonstration zone with stronger legal power. He also required comprehensively anchoring the target tasks, fully implementing the established work deployments, taking practical measures and seeking practical results in serving the overall development situation, improving supervision quality and efficiency, and strengthening team building, so as to promote high-quality development of procuratorial work and better serve and support the high-quality economic and social development of Jinhua.

Key Address by Party Secretary Zhu Zhonglie

Zhu Zhonglie highly affirmed the results achieved in the city’s procuratorial work in recent years. He pointed out that the city’s procuratorial system must further improve its political stance, continue to deeply study and practice Xi Jinping’s thought on the rule of law and the important instructions on procuratorial work, focus on implementing the General Secretary’s “4+1” important requirements and the Provincial Party Committee’s “132” overall work deployment, anchor the general goal of “two highs and one picture,” and find the entry points and leverage points for procuratorial work to integrate into and serve the overall situation. They should uphold integrity and innovate, explore and take the lead, and make new and greater contributions to better coordinating development and security.

Zhu called for firmly practicing the “three supervisions,” continuously strengthening theoretical arming, effectively enhancing political capability, strictly observing political discipline and rules, and walking in the forefront and setting an example in forging political loyalty. He also emphasized focusing on serving high-quality development, safeguarding high-level security, and promoting the construction of a rule-of-law government, walking in the forefront and setting an example in escorting the overall development situation. Additionally, they should actively respond to the people’s expectations for the rule of law, strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of special groups, and actively promote municipal social governance, walking in the forefront and setting an example in protecting people’s well-being. They should establish a firm orientation of honesty, practical work, and practical achievements, temper excellent capabilities, cultivate a clean and upright ecology, and walk in the forefront and set an example in forging a procuratorial iron army, better escorting and empowering the overall leap to create an important growth pole for high-quality development. Zhu also stressed the need to strengthen overall coordination and support, firmly establish the concept of “a game of chess” for the whole city, strengthen organizational leadership, deepen support and cooperation, optimize service guarantees, and gather strong synergy for doing a good job in procuratorial work in the new era.

Reports and Exchanges

At the meeting, the Municipal Procuratorate reported on the city’s procuratorial work in recent years and its next steps. The Municipal Court, Municipal Public Security Bureau, Provincial Jinhua Prison, and Yiwu Municipal Procuratorate delivered exchange speeches, while the Lanxi Municipal Party Committee Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Longshan Procuratorial Office of Yongkang Municipal Procuratorate provided written exchanges.

Implications for Foreign Founders

For foreign founders registering or operating a company in China, particularly in Jinhua, this conference underscores the local procuratorial organs’ commitment to strengthening legal supervision and improving the business environment under the rule of law. The emphasis on “high-quality and efficient case handling” and “serving the overall development situation” suggests that legal protections for businesses will continue to be a priority. However, foreign founders should note that the procuratorial work is deeply rooted in the Chinese legal and political context, and they should ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. The focus on “special groups’ rights protection” and “municipal social governance” may also indicate attention to broader social responsibilities. While the conference highlighted support for high-quality development, it did not announce specific new policies or guarantees for foreign investors. Founders are advised to monitor official channels for any updates that may affect their operations and to seek professional legal advice tailored to their circumstances.
