What is the role of the Constitutional and Legal Commission

Xin Chunying, who clarified that this is his first meeting abroad after being elected, said that his country does not have a separate court like Romania, so the Constitution and Law Commission is a very important body in the application and promotion of the Constitution.

According to his presentation, the Constitution in force in China was adopted in 1982 and has been changed five times according to the American model through draft amendments, to date their number is 52.

Xin Chunying explained that this system with the draft amendments was chosen considering that an important role of the Constitution is to be predictable, and that the public should see the stability of this Chinese model. In this sense, he showed that the 1982 Constitution contributed to China’s transition to a market economy.
