NPC's focus on rule of law

As representatives of the people, National People's Congress deputies are supposed to submit motions on issues of concern to the public.

According to the secretariat of the fifth plenary session of the 12th National People's Congress, of the motions submitted by deputies, 492 of them, nearly 96 percent, were related to legislation.

To better fulfill their duties, NPC deputies have attached growing importance to their posts in recent years and many of them reportedly make in-depth studies and lend attentive ears to the public before attending the annual NPC session.
