 I recently (4 November 2026) published an article in China Law & Government entitled “The Evolving Relationship Between the National People’s Congress and the Supreme People’s Court in the Xi Jinping Era.” The article is found on the journal website here and can be directly downloaded here.

Special thanks to Wei Changhao (Changhao Wei), the NPC Observer, for his detailed comments on an earlier draft of the article, his website, of course, making research on this topic much easier, and Sun Dongyu (Christopher) for his research on this topic several years ago when he was working as my research assistant. Please use the comment function on the blog to provide comments.
