China's prosecuting organs will intensify the fight against
organized crime and violent crime in 2007, said Jia Chunwang, Procurator-General of the Supreme
People's Procuratorate, on Tuesday.
He said the prosecuting organs will strike at underworld-related
organized crime which represents a threat to social stability in
the rural areas.
"Maintaining social stability is a pre-requisite for building a
harmonious socialist society. Prosecuting organs are an important
force in maintaining social stability and will carry out their
duties assiduously in the new year, in particular prosecutions and
the approval of arrests," Jia said.
He said in 2007, prosecuting organs will also clamp down on
economic crimes, such as commercial fraud and the production and
sale of fake and inferior-quality products, in order to foster
honesty and fairness.
He said prosecuting organs will also fight crimes relating to
intellectual property infringement, environmental deterioration and
drug trafficking in 2007.
