Can I bring my belongings with me when I appear in court?

According to Article 7 of the Rules of Court of People's Republic of China (PRC) People's Court, the following items shall not be brought into the court except the evidence that needs to be presented in court with the permission of the people's court:

(1) Weapons such as guns, ammunition and controlled knives;

(2) Inflammable and explosive substances and suspected explosives;

(three) radioactive, toxic, corrosive, strong odor substances and infectious disease pathogens;

(4) Liquid, colloid and powdery articles;

(5) Slogans, banners and leaflets;

(6) Other articles that may endanger court security or interfere with court order.

Dangerous goods and controlled knives are not allowed.

At the same time, the court generally stipulates that mobile phones are not allowed. Because mobile phones are also "dangerous" to the court. Once the parties record videos or recordings with their mobile phones and spread them out, they will expose some "secrets" that are inconvenient to disclose.

Audio and video recording facilities are not allowed.
