Do the public security organs have the right to handle economic disputes?

1. Road blockages caused by human factors fall within the scope of the traffic police department’s responsibilities.

The traffic police department has the right to inspect and punish traffic violations due to intentional road blockage, suspected of disrupting public order and endangering road traffic safety.

2. The state explicitly prohibits public security organs from intervening in economic disputes.

For public security agencies to intervene in economic disputes, the Ministry of Public Security has issued the "Notice of the Ministry of Public Security on Strictly Prohibiting Intervention in Economic Disputes Beyond Their Authority", the "Notice of the Ministry of Public Security on Strictly Prohibiting Public Security Organs from Intervening in Economic Disputes and Arresting People in the Law of the People" and "The Ministry of Public Security "Notice of the Ministry of Public Security on No Illegal Interference in the Handling of Economic Dispute Cases by Public Security Agencies". It requires that those in charge of public security organs who treat economic disputes as fraud cases and fail to correct them should be held accountable and exposed through the news media.

3. Economic disputes belong to the category of civil litigation.

There are two major categories of economic disputes:

The first is economic contract disputes. Such as sales contract disputes, loan contract disputes, undertaking contract disputes, construction project contract disputes, technology contract disputes, etc.;

The second is economic tort disputes. Such as intellectual property (such as patent rights, trademark rights) infringement disputes, ownership infringement disputes, business rights infringement disputes, etc. In a market economy, a contract is a legal and universal form for establishing transaction relationships between equal market entities, jointly implementing transaction behaviors, and pursuing and realizing economic goals. Among them, contract disputes are the main part of economic disputes.

In summary, economic disputes belong to the category of civil litigation and should be resolved by the parties through litigation procedures in the People's Court. Road blockages caused by human factors will be dealt with by the traffic police department for illegal activities that endanger road traffic safety, but the public security organs have no right to intervene in specific economic disputes.
