Domestic enforcement of Chinese judgments and arbitral awards

A winning judgment does not collect itself. Once the performance period expires, a creditor must apply to the enforcement court, which seals and freezes the debtor's bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, and WeChat/Alipay balances. Where the debtor has means but refuses, criminal referral for refusal to enforce (拒执罪) is the strongest lever.

• Application for enforcement and property-preservation follow-up
• Court investigation orders (调查令) and asset tracing across bank / Alipay / WeChat
• Petition to resume terminated cases (终本恢复) upon new leads
• Auction, compulsory transfer, and enforcement against affiliated companies / shareholders
• Creditor's revocation and subscribed-capital acceleration (认缴出资加速到期)

Most "no-asset" cases are under-traced. Three years of bank flows, social-insurance and affiliated-company data often surface hidden assets.
