BEIJING, Oct. 24 -- China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) on Thursday released a list of people who have defaulted on court-ordered payments.

The publication on the SPC's official website followed a regulation which took effect on Oct. 1 stating that those who are capable of fulfilling court judgments but who fail to do so will be punished in accordance with law.

The database includes more than 30,000 individuals' names, which were submitted by courts across the country.

According to an SPC statement, publicizing the list online is only the first move, and courts at all levels will be permitted to release similar lists within their jurisdictions via newspapers, radio, TV, the Internet and news conferences.

In addition, courts will pass information on defaulters to organizations they belong to. The organizations will in turn impose punishment on the defaulters to force them to fulfill court judgments.
