BEIJING - Wang Chen, a senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official and chief of the China Law Society, has stressed firm commitment to promoting socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics.

Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks Monday at a meeting on the achievements the People's Republic of China has made in advancing the rule of law during the past seven decades since its founding.
