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 theSTA Policy and Regulations Library. Party regulations and national law are two separate bodies of rules: this site searches them separately and never merges the results.

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.
