What do you mean by the big four prosecutors?

The four procuratorial organs refer to criminal procuratorial organs, civil procuratorial organs, administrative procuratorial organs and public interest litigation procuratorial organs.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main social contradiction in our country has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. The people have higher-level needs in democracy, rule of law, fairness, justice, security and environment.

For procuratorial organs, these new demands of the people involve not only criminal prosecution, but also civil prosecution, administrative prosecution and public interest litigation.

Aware of this new situation, the Supreme People's Procuratorate took the opportunity of the transfer of anti-corruption and anti-dereliction of duty to other provinces, and vigorously cracked down on "severe punishment of people" by reforming its internal institutions, and put forward a new goal of comprehensive, coordinated and full development of criminal prosecution, civil prosecution, administrative supervision and public interest litigation prosecution.
