China’s top judge urged courts to focus on maintaining social stability to deal with the fallout from the global economic slowdown, state media said Saturday.
With rising unemployment stemming from the global financial turmoil, fears of social unrest in China are increasing, especially as migrant workers laid off from factories return home.
The judiciary should position itself to deal with disputes likely to arise from the crisis, the official China Daily newspaper quoted Wang Shengjun, the head of the Supreme People’s Court, as saying.
