This English edition represents a collective effort by specialists in law and in English translation working under the aegis of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. We wish to pay tribute to Tong Xiaohua, who revised and finalized the English text. Besides, a number of Chinese organizations provided the draft translations of the laws related to their work, and Xia Jihong，Da Ji，and Mao Yu did much work in the preparation and translation of this Volume. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all the persons and organizations that contributed to the publication of this Volume.
In spite of the great care taken by the translators and editors to produce an accurate translation, shortcomings and oversights are hardly avoidable, and criticism from readers will be appreciated.
This translation is for reference only. In case of discrepancy between the English translation and the original Chinese text, the Chinese edition of The Laws of the People’s Republic of China shall prevail.
The laws to be formulated by the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee will be translated into English and published in forthcoming volumes.
