Role of Villagers' Committee Members Clarified

Members of villager's committees and other grassroots organizations in China's rural areas will be deemed as "personnel engaged in public service" when they assist the government in handling a long list of specific administrative affairs.

This new definition comes from an explanation of Article 93, Clause 2 of the Criminal Law, which was passed here this morning before the end of the five-day 15th session of the Standing Committee of the Ninth National People's Congress, China's top legislature.
