Socialist law system

He said the law system consists of seven categories, including Constitution-related laws, civil and commercial laws, administrative laws, economic laws, social laws, criminal laws, litigation and non-litigation procedure laws.

These laws are integrated as a whole in three levels in terms of legal forces - national laws, administrative regulations and local regulations.

Li said to achieve the goal to form a socialist law system this year, the NPC is busy drafting key laws that will serve as pillars in the system, such as the social security law and administrative enforcement law. On the other hand, the top legislature is also making efforts to clear contradictions among various laws to pave the way for the law system.

However, NPC Standing Committee member Chen Sixi said legislators need to move faster to draft social laws in order to ensure the law system is established on time.

"None of the charity laws, social security law or the social assistant law have been adopted. We need to fill in the blanks as soon as possible," he said.
