"The internet space is virtual, but the rule of law must be concrete," Procurator-General Zhang Jun said while delivering the report to national lawmakers.

As prosecutors have stepped up efforts to deal with personality rights offenses, the courts have also focused more on related lawsuits.

Last year, courts nationwide concluded 4,098 cases related to infringing on personal information, in which people's identity cards, contact details, express delivery messages, WeChat accounts and patient data were stolen or purchased, a 60.2 percent year-on-year increase, according to the work report of the Supreme People's Court.
