limits as much as possible. Meanwhile, the following supplementary provisions
are made in order to solve certain special, concrete problems which have
arisen in the process of implementation.

instance as stipulated in Article 125, or within the time limit for trial in a
case of second instance as stipulated in Article 142, the time limit for
holding the defendant in custody during investigation may be extended by two
months upon approval or decision by the people’s procuratorates of provinces,
autonomous regions, or municipalities directly under the Central Government,
and the time limit for trial in cases of first and second instances may be

extremely poor communications cannot be concluded within the time limit
stipulated in the Criminal Procedure Law for holding the defendant in custody
during investigation or within the time limit for trial in a case of first or
second instance, the time limit for case-handling may be appropriately
extended. The extension of the time limit for case-handling and the measures
for its examination and approval shall be dealt with in pursuance of item (1)
above.

    When the time limit for case-handling may be extended in remote areas with
extremely poor communications, such areas shall be designated by the standing
committees of the people’s congresses of the relevant provinces or autonomous
regions.
