Ambrose Lau Hon-chen, a Standing Committee member of the CPPCC, told journalists on March 9, 2016, in Beijing on the sidelines of the ongoing CPPCC session that the Chief Justice of China's Supreme Court Zhou Qiang had told him that they were now able to monitor any hearing in the country. He said “Zhou just needs to press a button and he can see any hearing in thousands of courts in China live. That was to improve the transparency of China’s judicial system … if any judge acts in an unjust way, Beijing would know. Zhou said even foreign judges who visited China were impressed with it.”
