Authorities seek greater enforcement of child labor laws

China must strengthen enforcement of its legislation against child labor, legal experts said on the eve of the World Day Against Child Labor, which falls today.

Director of the Beijing Juvenile Legal Aid and Research Center Tong Lihua said the central government's determination to wipe out child labor is "clear and beyond doubt".

Tong added: "We have excellent legislation on child labor. The Regulations on Prohibition of Child Labor, adopted by the State Council in 2002, is by far the best and most practical law dealing with children's rights and interests in China."
