Chinese Legislature Reviews Nine Laws

The controversial draft amendments to the Marriage Law, together with another eight drafts, were presented to the new session of the Chinese legislature, beginning Tuesday.

The draft amendments to the Marriage Law and the Taxation Law, the draft Trust Law and the draft Law on National Defense Education, are expected to be put for vote Saturday when the legislative session ends.

Li Peng, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), presided over the opening session.

Four amendments to the Law on Judges, Law on Procurators, Copyright Law and Trademark Law, which were previously discussed by the NPC Standing Committee, were tabled before lawmakers for a second hearing.

The Draft Law on Population and Family Planning was presented to the Committee by the State Council.

Three international pacts were also submitted to the legislature Tuesday. The pacts are a treaty with Laos on civil and criminal justice assistance, a treaty with the Philippines on criminal justice assistance and an agreement between China, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan on the juncture of their borders.

A draft resolution by the State Council on further strengthening an educational campaign on the knowledge of law throughout the country was submitted to the legislature Tuesday.
