New laws to enhance supervision

China's top legislature has begun formulating the law on administrative discipline and the law on supervision officers to improve the country's supervision legal system, a senior legislator said on Sunday.

The amended Constitution and the National Supervision Law, passed in March 2018 at the first session of the 13th National People's Congress, gave fundamental legal backing to the country's supervision reform. To ensure the National Supervision Law is effectively implemented, more supporting laws and regulations are needed, according to Xu Xianming, deputy head of the NPC's Supervision and Justice Committee.

"The drafting of the two laws - one on administrative discipline and the other on supervision officers - has been put on the legislative agenda of the 13th NPC, and we'll move forward with their legislative process this year," said Xu.
