We aim to collect all the laws and legal documents that are issued by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

The National People's Congress (NPC) is the highest organ of state power. Its permanent body is the Standing Committee of the NPC.

(3) to partially supplement and amend, when the National People's Congress is not in session, laws enacted by the National People's Congress, provided that the basic principles of these laws are not contravened;

(4) to interpret laws.
