NPC 2025: Documents and Votes
Reports, legislation, and more.
Welcome back to a special issue of NPC Observer Monthly, a (mostly) monthly newsletter about China’s national legislature: the National People’s Congress (NPC) and its Standing Committee (NPCSC).
This will be the last crosspost for #NPC2025. But we’re not yet done with our coverage—I’m working with a colleague on an analysis of the Delegates Law amendment (see below), although, if all goes according to plan, it will be published somewhere else.
I’ll be back in your inbox to recap March in a few weeks. Until then, happy reading!
[The following post was first published on NPC Observer]
The third session of China’s 14th National People’s Congress (NPC) concluded on Tuesday, March 11. Below we have compiled a list of all official documents from this session (except for two legislative reports the NPC has so far neglected to release). We have also linked to the submitted (i.e., draft) version of the six main reports for your reference. Unless otherwise noted, the documents are available in Chinese only. The vote results for each bill and resolution are listed below in brackets, in the order of yea–nay–abstention.
