China's National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee launched its 12th session in Beijing this week, tackling a packed agenda of legal reforms that could shape everything from childcare to cryptocurrency regulation.
Under the leadership of Chairman Zhao Leji, lawmakers dove into debates on 15+ draft laws and amendments, including:
Preschool education reforms to boost early childhood development
Updated cultural relics protection measures (think national treasure guardians 2.0!)
Modernized mineral resource management policies
New energy law frameworks for a greener future
Anti-money laundering upgrades targeting digital finance loopholes
The session also reviewed plans to manage local government debt and improve legislative oversight – key moves as China navigates economic challenges.
