▌The Supreme People’s Procuratorate initiated a three-year special operation in July 2020 focusing on public interest litigation in an effort to safeguard vital interests. In this time span, prosecutors across the nation handled approximately 365,000 public interest litigation cases pertaining to environmental and resource protection, as well as food and drug safety. Additionally, we issued over 247,000 pretrial procuratorial suggestions and instigated around 25,000 lawsuits. Notably, a substantial portion of these cases, approximately 198,000, were centered on drug safety and the illegal discharge of pollutants into water bodies.
