China and the continuous modernisation of the national government system

Abstract

Due to China’s sustained growth and development, it became necessary to compile and systematise in a single body the civil legal rules formed through practices over 70 years old from New China. Generations of academics in the field of civil law had the ambition to formulate a Chinese Civil Code, following the tradition of intrinsic codification of the law system in Europe. So far, the rights and interests of Chinese citizens were regulated scattered, with very few legal loopholes. Since then, the main work of the national legislature has been defined as “legislating, amending, repealing and interpreting laws”. Chinese legislators have focused on how to improve the systematisation and integration of civil laws and regulations through the enactment of a Civil Code, which also brings together complex, non-systematic but inherently organic civil law provisions. Finally, the aspiration was reached on 28 May 2020, when the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China was promulgated and was adopted at the Third Session of the Thirteenth National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China. More than 2 000 members of the National Committee of the CPPCC (Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference) from 34 sectors met in Beijing for comments and suggestions.
