In the financial arena, the issue of non-performing assets in banks is gradually becoming a focal point. In recent years, with the shift in economic growth rates and the increasingly complex market environment, the scale of non-performing assets in banks has shown an upward trend. Non-performing assets are like a "tumor," eroding the healthy body of banks. They not only lead to a decline in asset quality, affecting the profitability of banks, but also weaken their ability to withstand risks. When the proportion of non-performing assets is too high, banks may face difficulties in cash flow, potentially triggering a bank run crisis, which can severely impact the stability of the financial system. At the same time, the increase in non-performing assets will make banks more cautious in credit issuance, thereby reducing support for the real economy and further hindering economic recovery and development.

Perspective | Legal Protection of Minors' Personal Information on Online Platforms
There are issues of personal information leakage and abuse of minors on online platforms, which greatly affect the physical and mental health of minors. Our country has been continuously promoting the protection of minors' personal information rights from a legal perspective, with minors under the age of 16 being the target of protection. The personal information of minors is considered sensitive information and should be strictly protected. The informed consent mechanism of guardians, as a legal prerequisite for the protection of minors' personal information on online platforms, faces practical difficulties and can be differentiated based on "contextual differences". Furthermore, future legislation on the protection of minors' personal information should be more specialized and refined.

The procuratorial organs are participants in the entire process of the administrative public interest litigation system and are also the leaders of the pre-litigation procedures. The author believes that the fundamental reasons for issues such as excessively high standards for the proof of investigation and verification rights, overly specific requirements for the content of pre-litigation procuratorial suggestions, and unclear regulations on the scope of pre-litigation procuratorial suggestions, lie in the procuratorial organs' neglect of the phased characteristics of the administrative public interest litigation system. They have failed to clarify their dual identity as "specialized legal supervision organs" and "public interest representatives," and have not balanced their pursuit of legal supervision and public interest protection in the pre-litigation procedures. This article aims to analyze the operational issues by exploring the phased characteristics of administrative public interest litigation, the role positioning of procuratorial organs as legal supervisors in pre-litigation procedures, and the pursuit of promoting lawful administration. It is hoped that this will provide a simple perspective for solving the challenges in the operation of pre-litigation procedures.

After the People's Court accepts the bankruptcy case of a bankrupt enterprise (also known as the "debtor"), one of the primary tasks of the bankruptcy administrator (hereinafter referred to as the "administrator") is to sort through the contracts signed by the bankrupt enterprise with external parties and analyze whether to continue performing them. Article 18 of the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law states: "After the People's Court accepts the bankruptcy application, the administrator has the right to decide whether to terminate or continue performing contracts that were established before the acceptance of the bankruptcy application and that have not been fully performed by both the debtor and the other party, and must notify the other party. If the administrator does not notify the other party within two months from the date of acceptance of the bankruptcy application, or does not respond within thirty days from the date of receiving the other party's notice, it is deemed that the contract is terminated. If the administrator decides to continue performing the contract, the other party must perform; however, the other party has the right to request the administrator to provide a guarantee. If the administrator does not provide a guarantee, it is deemed that the contract is terminated." The above provisions are referred to as the "rules for unperformed contracts." The law is specific and clear, but there are still many questions and disputes in practice. This article combines legal provisions, relevant case law, and practical experience to study related issues for critical discussion.

As of April 26, 2024, there are 302 valid laws in our country, categorized by legal departments, including 1 Constitution, 52 laws related to the Constitution, 24 civil and commercial laws, 97 administrative laws, 85 economic laws, 28 social laws, 4 criminal laws, and 11 procedural laws for litigation and non-litigation. The economic law department generally refers to a legal department that conducts overall, systematic, comprehensive, and integrated adjustments of socialist market economic relations. Laws such as the "Deed Tax Law," "Corporate Income Tax Law," "Accounting Law," "Asset Evaluation Law," "Budget Law," and "E-commerce Law" all belong to the economic law department. The 85 economic laws and their related regulations, rules, and normative documents constitute a vast legal system, forming the legal sources for the majority of market economic relations and compliance in economic activities. In practice, civil and commercial lawyers rarely handle civil and commercial cases while also considering the relevant economic laws and their regulations, rules, and normative documents. However, in the case of the People's Court of Qianhai Cooperation Zone, Shenzhen (2023) Yue 0391 Min Chu 10000, regarding the shareholder's right to know dispute involving Jiang and a certain company in Shenzhen, the application of economic law department laws and regulations addressed issues in civil and commercial cases.
