China promises more democracy in legislation
9/3/2006 13:38
Top Chinese lawmaker Wu Bangguo said in Beijing today that the Standing
Committee of the Tenth National People's Congress (NPC) will further promote
democracy in its legislation by soliciting more public opinions.
"We will
continue to publicize law drafts to collect suggestions and hold more public
hearings on bills which the public care about or dispute about the most," said
Wu, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, in his annual report on the
legislature's work to nearly 3,000 NPC deputies.
The draft property law is on
top of the 25 bills for 2006, Wu said in his report. Others are related to
corporate bankruptcy, supervision, emergency handling, labor contract and the
fight against narcotics.
He said relevant organs "are making more revisions
to the draft property law on the basis of various views and suggestions."
"It
will be submitted to the legislature for review when the conditions are ready,"
he said.
