Sound lawmaking, strict law enforcement and impartial justice

IN THE REPORT he delivered at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on Oct 18, General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "Advancing law-based governance in all fields is a profound revolution in China's governance. We must promote the rule of law and work to ensure sound lawmaking, strict law enforcement, impartial administration of justice and the observance of the law by everyone." Beijing Youth Daily comments:

Advancing law-based governance in all areas means exercising the unified leadership of the Party to build the rule of law in China, and coordinate the development of the Party's rules of discipline and the country's laws.

Xi said: "We will strengthen oversight to ensure compliance with the Constitution, advance review of the Constitution, and safeguard the authority of the Constitution." If these pledges are well implemented, people's rights can be ensured.
