Xi tells representatives at National People’s Congress that China must quicken “fundamental change” in how military is governed reports the South China Morning Post…
Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday that China should strengthen the use and making of military laws when engaging with other countries.
“China should make more comprehensive the body of military laws and regulations that involve foreign countries, so as to better protect national interests through the use of law,” Xi said, as quoted by the state-owned Xinhua news agency.
As part of efforts to elevate the role of laws in governing the country, Beijing has for years called for the prioritising of “foreign-related legal work”, including taking part in the making of international law; resolving disputes through treaties; and revising domestic laws to correlate them with those of other jurisdictions.
