China has strengthened its public interest litigation to protect the lawful rights and interests of minors, the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Monday (SPP).
最高人民检察院第九检察厅厅长那艳芳3月7日在新闻发布会上表示，最高检积极履行公益诉讼检察职责，依法保护未成年人合法权益。

Prosecutors across the country opened 6,633 public interest cases concerning the protection of underage people in 2021, SPP prosecutor Na Yanfang said at a press conference. That is 4.2 times the figure seen in 2020, or 3.3 times the total seen between 2018 and 2019.
2021年，全国检察机关未成年人保护公益诉讼立案6633件，是2020年的4.2倍，是2018、2019两年总和的3.3倍。

While less than 30 percent of the cases are traditional, mainly concerning food and drug security, more than 70 percent are new types of cases involving tobacco or liquor sales, online gaming, facility security, on-demand cinemas and e-sports hotels, the SPP said.
其中，食品药品安全等传统领域公益诉讼案件占比不足30%，新类型公益诉讼案件占比超70%，涉及向未成年人销售烟酒、网络游戏、未成年人活动场所和设施安全、点播影院、电竞酒店等新兴业态治理。
