China's top legislature to review documents online

BEIJING - China's National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee will store normative documents on record on a digital platform to make it easier to review them, according to the legislative work committee of the NPC Standing Committee.

The review work aims to find whether regulations and judicial interpretations are inappropriate conflict with laws.

The platform is being built and will launch later this year, said Shen Chunyao, director of the legislative work committee.

The system provides online review of laws and regulations, data collection and legislative services, helping legislators improve work efficiency and quality, Shen said.

The move is part of the NPC's effort to streamline its work, as a regulation on standardizing the Standing Committee's filing and reviewing of normative documents has been drafted.
