Chinese Lawmaker: Socialist Legal System Takes Form
A socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics and with the Constitution as its core has taken form, Qiao Xiaoyang, vice-chairmen of the Law Committee of China's National People's Congress (NPC), said Friday.

Qiao made the remarks while delivering a keynote speech at the second session of the Executive Council Meeting of the Association of Asian Parliaments for Peace (AAPP).

Thanks to its unremitting efforts, China has established seven major legal categories, including constitutional laws, civil and commercial laws, administrative laws, economic laws, social laws, criminal laws and litigation and non-litigation procedure laws, Qiao said.

Over the past two decades, the NPC and its Standing Committee have passed more than 400 laws, legal interpretations and decisions on relevant legal issues, and the State Council has promulgated over 800 administrative rules, Qiao said.

In addition, more than 8,000 local regulations were drawn up by people's congresses at local levels, and over 500 provisions on the exercise of autonomy and other regulations were formulated by the people's congresses of China's autonomous regions of ethnic minorities, he said.

China also draws on the useful experiences of other countries in drafting its own laws, Qiao said.
