Legislation Law Of The People's Republic Of China
The ''Legislation Law of the People's Republic of China'' is a law passed by the National People's Congress which describes the relationship between laws and regulations as well as the roles of various institutions in the Chinese government. Among the interesting parts of the law is Article 8 which establishes the principle that only a law passed by the NPC can be used to criminalize activity.
