Judicial reform to be gradual

Problems that emerge during China's judicial reform process can only be resolved through Chinese solutions rather than by blindly copying foreign models, a senior Party official said on Tuesday.

China should draw on the experience of other countries but should not copy them indiscriminately, said Jiang Wei, a senior official with the Central Leading Group for Judicial Reform of the Communist Party of China.

He said China's judicial system should be based on the reality that it is a populous developing nation where economic and social conditions still do not satisfy increasing expectations of social justice.
