Chinese Premier Li Qiang has doubled down on efforts to strengthen law-based governance, urging officials to prioritize ‘working by the book’ to tackle challenges fairly and transparently. In a high-level study session with the State Council, Li emphasized that legal frameworks must evolve alongside China’s reform goals—outdated laws should be revised or scrapped to keep pace with development.
The premier highlighted the need for problem-solving legislation that addresses real-world issues faced by businesses and citizens. He also called for balanced law enforcement, blending strict standards with flexibility to ensure fairness.
‘Procedures must be just, outcomes reasonable,’ he stated, stressing tighter oversight of administrative powers.
Legal expert Ma Huaide joined the session alongside Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang and other top officials, signaling a collaborative push to embed rule-of-law principles across governance. This move aligns with growing public demand for accountability—think of it as a policy upgrade for China’s civic drama series.
