Resolving disputes at grassroots is working
Print Edition
Before a fierce quarrel could escalate into a fight with his neighbor, Shui Zhengqi called the village 鈥渕inute legal clinic鈥 for mediation and it worked.
On-duty 鈥減eacemaker鈥 Yuan Houli, a 75-year-old retired teacher, responded.
Wang Mingbei in Shiqiao Village, southwest China鈥檚 Chongqing Municipality, was burning dry grass in his yard for composting as fertilizer but the blaze accidentally spread to one of Shui鈥檚 osmanthus trees. The two men quarreled.
Under Yuan鈥檚 mediation, Wang apologized to Shui and paid him 200 yuan (US$29) in compensation. The dispute was solved peacefully.
China is working to enhance rural governance through honing villagers鈥 ability in self-governance, introducing various consultation mechanisms about village affairs, ensuring law and order, and fighting corruption at the primary level.
Other places in China are also exploring new ways to solve disputes at grassroots level.
In eastern Zhejiang Province, the local government has established online dispute settlement platforms with the help of big data and artificial intelligence technology. Residents can report problems and get mediation and arbitration service online.
鈥淭he diversified ways of dispute settlement are channels for the government to keep close ties with the people,鈥 said Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC.
鈥淭he new channels for resolving social disputes reflect progress in social governance,鈥 he added.
