From anti-corruption crackdowns to digitizing courts, changes are sweeping. Over 429,000 online cases were handled by internet courts by 2022, streamlining disputes with TikTok-speed efficiency (75 resolved per minute! ⚡).

Corrupt officials? No retirement immunity here — prosecutions stay lifelong. 🔍
Yet challenges linger: experts urge stronger legal protections and adapting laws for AI and tech breakthroughs. 💡 As the world watches, Xi Jinping Thought frames the rule of law as \"essential for socialism with Chinese characteristics,\" blending tradition and innovation. Could this be China’s blueprint for 21st-century governance? 🌐
