The National People's Congress (NPC) and its standing committee have passed 35 laws, adopted 62 legislative amendments, and approved 34 binding resolutions since March 2021, said Song Rui, deputy secretary-general of the NPC Standing Committee, at a press conference on Monday.

The briefing highlighted China's progress in developing socialist democracy during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025).

Song noted that these legislative efforts have improved the legal system to enhance state governance, address public demands for a better life, and strengthen safeguards for national security.
