China's top court opened its official micro blog and WeChat account on Thursday in a move to increase judicial transparency and increase interaction with the public.

The Supreme People's Court registered its micro blog on Sina Weibo and its WeChat account on Tencent to help people better understand legal procedures, the court said in a statement.

Sina Weibo is one of the largest micro-blogging service providers in the country and WeChat is a popular social network app for smartphones.
