BEIJING, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- China plans to expand the public's
participation in lawmaking, an area which needs great improvement,
said Chinese President Hu Jintao here Wednesday.
Hu, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
Central Committee, made the statement when presiding over a meeting
of the members of the Political Bureau of the 17th CPC Central
Committee for their first study on how to implement the rule of law.
"We shall expand the people's orderly participation in legislation
in line with legal procedures. It will help the lawmakers find out
and solve the problems that matter most to the people," he said.
The country needs to improve legislation, adopting more laws to meet
the needs of economic and social development and the people, and to
build a socialist law system with Chinese characteristics, he said.
Efforts must be made to improve the enforcement of laws including
the Constitution, he said. "We shall stick to the principle that all
citizens are equal in front of the law."
Party organs and its members are urged to set an example of abiding
by laws while all mechanisms to supervise the enforcement of laws
will be geared up, he said.
The whole society, from common citizens to government and Party
officials, needs more education on laws, he said.
"We must realize that full implementation of the rule of law as a
fundamental principle is key to building socialism with Chinese
characteristics, maintain a harmonious society and realize lasting
stability and peace in the country," he said.
Hu also urged Party organs of all levels to highlight law-based
governance and push forward reforms in line with laws.
