BEIJING (Reuters) - China must rid its courts of corruption and stop officials interfering in decisions, a paper on reforms by the top court said on Tuesday, referring to a judicial system that answers to the Communist Party and almost never sides with defendants.
The paper, published on an official website managed by the Supreme People's Court, comes ahead of the third plenum of the ruling Communist Party's 205-member Central Committee next month, a key meeting of party elite where economic and social reforms are expected to emerge.
