Regarding the proposal to assign the Supreme People's Court of Appeal to the task of reviewing and re-examining judgments and decisions of provincial-level People's Courts and the task of hearing appeals of complex administrative cases. The Supreme People's Court finds that assigning the Supreme People's Court of Appeal to review and re-examine judgments and decisions of provincial-level People's Courts will create many levels of review, returning to a model similar to the current High-level People's Court, which will not resolve current problems and shortcomings. Assigning only the Court of Appeal to review criminal cases has been shown in the Project on streamlining and streamlining the apparatus approved by the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat.
