The National Development and Reform Commission plans to issue the Measures for Credit Repair.
On September 1, the National Development and Reform Commission issued an announcement soliciting public comments on the “Measures for Credit Repair (Draft for Comments),” with a deadline for feedback set for September 30, 2025.
The Measures clearly define the scope of entities eligible for credit restoration and categorize失信 information into three levels—minor, general, and severe—and set forth the requirements, supporting documents, processing timeframes, and procedures for filing objections and appeals. Credit subjects must rectify their untrustworthy conduct and fulfill their obligations; once the public disclosure period has elapsed, they may apply for restoration. All credit‑restoration applications are submitted through the “Credit China” website, with industry regulators handling them in accordance with their respective responsibilities. Reorganized enterprises may, upon presentation of a court ruling, request temporary de‑listing of their失信 information. No department may impose any fees for credit restoration; false commitments will be publicly disclosed for three years and will result in restrictions on future restoration applications.

LITIGATION & ARBITRATION

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate has released typical cases of public interest litigation in the procuratorial system, under the theme “Remembering the History of the War of Resistance and Inheriting the Spirit of the War of Resistance.”
On September 1, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate released a selection of typical cases of public-interest litigation under the theme “Remembering the History of the War of Resistance and Inheriting Its Spirit,” featuring 11 representative cases from Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Jilin, Hunan, Guizhou, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and other regions.

Xinjiang: 27 Measures to Build a High-Caliber Court Personnel Team
Recently, the Higher People’s Court of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region issued the “Action Plan for Enhancing the Effectiveness of Leadership Teams and Cadre Development in Xinjiang’s Courts (2025–2027),” which outlines 27 measures across five key areas—strengthening court leadership teams, optimizing personnel structures, cultivating and selecting outstanding young cadres, and others—to continuously advance the high-quality development of talent within the people’s courts.
The Plan focuses on rationalizing the “use” of personnel by implementing initiatives to improve and upgrade leadership team structures. Through refining mechanisms for oversight, reminders, and coordinated management, it aims to optimize and strengthen leadership teams, fill vacant posts, rigorously vet candidates’ qualifications, and closely monitor the development of reserve cadres, thereby continuously enhancing both the structural composition and overall functionality of leadership bodies. Centering on “strengthening the foundation,” the Plan launches an initiative to elevate the quality and efficiency of grassroots adjudication, directing resources—such as staffing allocations, judicial quotas, rank‑and‑grade designations, and personnel levels—toward the grassroots level to alleviate the imbalance between caseloads and judicial capacity. It also implements a tiered selection system for judges and organizes, mobilizes, and guides assistant judges from higher courts to take up positions and assume judicial quotas at the grassroots level. With an emphasis on precision in “selection,” the Plan introduces measures to bolster talent development at the source, launching the “Top‑School Elite Selection” program to refine the workforce structure and establish a pool of outstanding young cadres. Additionally, it rolls out the “Attracting Talents to Xinjiang” initiative to build a high‑caliber, professionally competent cadre pool that underpins the modernization of Xinjiang’s court adjudication system. Pursuing all‑round “training and development,” the Plan undertakes actions to enhance the capabilities and qualities of cadres, establishing a tailored growth‑and‑record‑keeping mechanism for promising young officials to foster diversified training and track their progress. It also implements the “Green‑Blue Mentorship” program, instituting a master‑apprentice mentoring system. Finally, with a focus on scientific “management,” the Plan strengthens efforts to improve the effectiveness of incentives and constraints by refining performance‑evaluation systems, strictly enforcing procedures for exiting judicial quotas, disciplining judges, and regulating post‑service employment of judicial officers, while reinforcing day‑to‑day supervision and management, providing genuine care and support, and ensuring robust保障 measures to create an environment that retains and motivates talent.
