Chinese citizens could now look up information on trials, verdicts and the implementation of court decisions of courts across the country online.
All Chinese non-military courts are now linked to a "judicial big data center", a central database for trial information and verdicts, the Supreme People's Court (SPC) announced Thursday.
According to the SPC, the project aims to propel judicial organs to improve their performances through increasing transparency.
All 3,511 courts are now all able to upload information on trials, verdicts and the implementation of court decisions to the central system, which was launched in June 2014.
The project will make information more accessible to the public, while ensuring data is better managed, according to the SPC.
It also links the courts with government branches and banks, facilitating enquiries and the freezing of accounts that belong to those who default on court decisions, the SPC said.
The center has released names of 1.65 million defaulters, who have been subsequently blocked by civil aviation and railway authorities, it said.
