Texts on this site are reproduced from theParty Regulations Library on 12371.cn, theNational Database of Laws and Regulations(General Office of the NPC Standing Committee), and the official libraries of the State Council departments: STA Policy and Regulations Library, MOHRSS Rules Library, MEE Rules Library, MOE Rules Library, MCT Departmental Rules, NRTA Rules Library, MEM Rules Library. Party regulations and national law are two separate bodies of rules: this site searches them separately and never merges the results. Departmental rules and normative documents rank below laws and administrative regulations and are likewise kept in their own corpus.

Where an electronic text differs from the standard text of the law, the standard text governs. All texts here are in Chinese, the language in which they were officially promulgated; this interface is translated but the legal texts are not.
