Democratic system improving
China DailyThe Great Hall of the People in Beijing, capital of China. For example, in March 2021, the Organization Law of the National People's Congress, which had been in use for nearly 40 years, was amended to affirm the leadership of the Party over the NPC and its Standing Committee. Alongside these changes, laws and rules such as the Legislation Law, the Rules of Procedure of the NPC Standing Committee, and the Rules of Procedure of the NPC have also been amended, ensuring that the NPC system remains relevant, improves over time, becomes more mature and assumes a more established form. For instance, to enforce the Constitution and laws and to safeguard the unity of the national legal system, the NPC and its Standing Committee have diligently reviewed administrative regulations. To further standardize this work, the NPC Standing Committee passed the "Decision on Improving and Strengthening the System of Recording and Review" in December 2023, which can be regarded as a system of parallel processes for resolving legislative conflicts, demonstrating a key aspect of its supervisory role.
