What happens after being summoned by the court?

Summoning is a measure for judicial organs to inform litigants to appear in court at a designated time and place.

According to the provisions of Article 117 of China's Criminal Procedure Law: "A criminal suspect who does not need to be arrested or detained may be summoned to a designated place or residence or unit for interrogation, but the documents of the people's procuratorate or the public security organ shall be produced." The purpose of summoning is to ensure that criminal proceedings are carried out in a planned way and cases are handled in time, and a legal litigation document-summoning certificate must be used for summoning.
