Chinese Courts Issue Personal Safety Orders

Chinese courts have issued more than 25,000 personal safety protection orders over the past five years, the Supreme People's Court said Monday, lowering proof standards and clarifying admissible evidence to better protect domestic violence victims. The SPC also clarified that psychological harm and minors who witness or are abducted qualify as victims, and highlighted guidance on betrothal gifts and AI use amid 86.74 million civil cases.
