Its creation and broadcast are part of a process to educate the producers and audience about the rule of law," said Jiang Shengnan, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top political advisory body. She made the remarks while attending the first session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee in Beijing last month, and suggested that people in the film and TV industries should focus more on legal issues because the rule of law is close to everyone's interests. Jiang, who is also a scriptwriter, said, "I'll put some legal issues in my work, and hope more creators will jointly produce high-quality dramas to help more people understand the judicial process." The Knockout, which was produced under the guidance of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, is the first drama to detail the country's constant battle against organized crime and educate people about the judicial system.
