Storyline

Briefing media on how the NPC legislation will better promote China’s economic development at a press conference ahead of the NPC’s annual session, Lou Qinjian, spokesman for the second session of the 14th NPC, said the NPC and its Standing Committee will focus on four aspects in this regard.

“Third, to reinforce legislation by highlighting high-quality development. To codify ecological and environmental law for promoting ecological civilization and green, low carbon development. Fourth, to intensify legislation for ensuring and improving people’s livelihood, including the formulation of the law on academic degrees and law on pre-school education as well law revision on prevention and treatment of infectious diseases,” he noted.
“In general, China faces more favorable conditions than disadvantages in its development, retaining the prevailing trend of upbeat revival and long-term sound economic growth. We have strong faith and morale on that. The NPC and its Standing Committee will continue to promote scientific, democratic and law-based legislation, seek steady progress and provide safeguard for high-quality development with high-quality legislation,” Lou said.
