China is setting sail toward stronger safeguards for maritime travelers! 🌊 The country is revising its 30-year-old maritime law to enhance protections for passengers’ rights, with a draft proposal now under review by the National People's Congress Standing Committee.
The update, packed with 311 articles, aims to boost compensation limits for injuries and property damage caused by transport carriers. It also seeks to harmonize liability standards across domestic and international routes—a move that could simplify claims for globetrotters and local travelers alike. 💼✈️
‘This isn’t just about legal jargon,’ says a policy analyst. ‘It’s about ensuring fairness, whether you’re cruising the Yangtze River or sailing to Singapore.’ The revisions also tweak the balance of rights and duties for maritime stakeholders, reflecting modern travel needs in a hyper-connected world. 🌏🔗
