In 2018, under the strong leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CCP) with Xi Jinping as the leadership’s core and guided by the underlying precepts of Chinese socialism for the new era, the People’s Courts have applied the principles and implemented instructions decided at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (“Party Congress”), the second and third plena of the 19th CCP Central Committee and the Central Political and Legal Work Conference. They studied and applied the ideals of General-Secretary Xi Jinping’s key addresses, and fostered the “four aspects of consciousness”—consciousness in political correctness, in serving the broader interests, in following the core leadership, and in staying aligned with the central party leadership; the “four matters of confidence”—confidence in the path of Chinese socialism, in the theoretical foundation of the path, in the system of Chinese socialism and in the Chinese culture; and the “two pillars to safeguard”—safeguarding the core status of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and the central and unified leadership of the CCP Central Committee. The People’s Courts adopted a steady and progressive approach to work, keeping in mind their earliest aspirations and the current mission, and discharging adjudicatory responsibilities as conferred by the Constitution and the law. Our judges have been our trusted achievers, as they endeavoured to deliver for the people a sense of equality and justice in every case handled by the judiciary. Reforms in intellectual property adjudication have deepened, and supervision and guidance for adjudicatory operations have increased. And as the courts strive to make the courtroom the principal forum for intellectual property protection, they are also providing effective judicial safeguards, in the process of working tenaciously toward the “two centennial goals”, and toward achieving the China dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
