Legal basis: Article 226 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). If the people's court fails to execute the application for execution for more than six months from the date of receiving the application for execution, the person against whom execution is applied may apply to the people's court at the next higher level for execution. After examination, the people's court at a higher level may order the original people's court to execute it within a certain period of time, or decide to execute it by itself or instruct other people's courts to execute it.
