Under the guidance of the policy of promoting socialist democracy and
building a sound socialist legal system formulated at the Third Plenary
Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Chinese Communist
Party, the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee have,
since 1979, enacted many important laws. These laws have been compiled
and published in succession by the Legislative Affairs Commission of the
Standing Committee of the National People' s Congress of the People' s
Republic of China.In order to acquaint readers abroad with China' s laws
and with what China has achieved in building a new legal system, the
collections in Chinese entitled the Laws of the People' s Republic of
China, covering the period of 1979——2008, have been translated into
English and published in 20 volumes at the Foreign Languages Press, the
Science Press, and the Law Press respectively. Weare now publishing, as
Volume 21, the English edition of The Laws of the People' s Republic of
China （2009） at the Law Press. The publication note in the Chinese
