Development Of Screen Sharing

On August 17, 2019, the Beijing Internet Court released the "White Paper on the Judicial Application of Internet Technology." Judge Cui Lu of the Court's Case Registration Division used "screen sharing" as an example to introduce new technological approaches emerging within the new trial model of "online cases and online trials." Judge Cui demonstrated two methods: judge-initiated and party-application. One method involves the judge clicking "Desktop Sharing" for instant sharing; the other involves the party requesting "screen sharing." With the judge's approval, all parties can view the applicant's screen for evidence presentation and cross-examination. The "screen sharing" feature allows for effective inspection of electronic evidence, significantly reducing the burden on parties, safeguarding the security of their litigation materials, and significantly reducing the difficulty and cost of evidence production. Combined with live court broadcasts, "screen sharing" can provide a live broadcast of the entire trial process to the public, making online trials truly "trials in the sunshine." In June 2025, according to the Ministry of Public Security, in response to the proliferation of new telecom and internet fraud tactics in recent years, and to help the public improve their ability to identify and prevent fraud, the Ministry's Criminal Investigation Bureau, through analysis and assessment of recently cracked telecom fraud cases and incorporating local early warning and dissuasion practices, systematically summarized and refined 20 anti-fraud keywords, providing the public with a "code" to decipher telecom fraud schemes. This includes "screen sharing."
