    Draft general provisions bring China closer to civil code

    BEIJING - National lawmakers on Wednesday started to deliberate draft general provisions of civil law, which, if adopted, will bring the country one step closer to a long-absent civil code.

    With the draft submitted to the ongoing annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature, the country is nearing the end of its crucial first step toward a civil code: laying down basic principles.

    Last year, the draft went through three readings at the bi-monthly sessions of the NPC Standing Committee. It is rare for a draft law not to be passed after three readings.

    After the adoption of the general provisions, lawmakers will step up work on compiling individual books on property, contract and marriage, among others, which will be integrated into a unified code.

    According to the legislation plan, the code will be enacted in 2020.

    Compiling a civil code, dubbed as "an encyclopedia on social life" which regulates personal and property relations, will help "better protect the people's immediate interests, improve state governance, maintain market order, ensure trading security, and promote the sound development of socialist market economy," Li Jianguo, vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, said while explaining the draft Wednesday at an NPC plenary meeting.

    ADAPTING TO NEW ERA

    The draft, based on the General Principles of Civil Law adopted in 1986,deals with a variety of issues, ranging from ecological conservation to property protection and the guardianship system.

    Existing provisions in the General Principles have been revised and new ones added in line with new conditions in social and economic activities.

    The draft establishes a "green" principle, stipulating that in their civil activities, civil subjects must be aware of the need to save resources and protect the environment.

    This reflects the country's new development concepts and the fact that China is a populous country that has to strike a balance between people and the environment for a long time to come, Li said.

    "Legislative efforts are needed to ensure civil subjects better fulfill their obligations in environmental protection," said national lawmaker and jurist Wu Qing.

    Fetuses that require protection for the succession of estates and reception of donations shall be deemed as having the capacity for civil law rights, according to the draft.

    "This is a step forward. Rights of a life without capacity for conduct still need protecting," said Shen Guoming, deputy head of the China Society of Jurisprudence.

    The draft lowers the statutory age limit of minors with limited capacity for civil conduct from 10 to six years, for the purpose of attaching more attention to minors' own discretion.

    The draft also highlights the protection of online virtual assets and data, as incidents of personal information leakage have increased in recent years.

    In addition, the draft adds provisions on rural economic collectives and villagers' committees, among others, to help them better participate in civil life, and protect the members' legitimate rights and interests.

    "Each and every provision embodies the will of the people," said national lawmaker Sun Xianzhong, deputy head of the China Civil Law Society, who has spent years pushing for a civil code of China.
