The goal was to "perfect the socialist judicial system with Chinese characteristics...in accordance with the Constitution and laws, and [without] judicial independence and supremacy, which exist in many Western countries," according to Xiao Yang as reported by the People's Daily in 1999.
目的は「中国の独自性も持ち合わせた社会主義の司法制度を、憲法と法律にのっとって、かつ西洋の国々の多くにあるような司法の独立性も優位性もないよう、完成させる」ことだと肖揚が述べたと1999年の人民日報では報じている。
