| 各位代表：
我受全國人大常委會委託，向大會報告工作，請予審議。 |
Fellow Deputies,
On behalf of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC), I now present this report on its work for your deliberation. |
| 過去一年的工作 | The Year in Review |
| 2023年是全面貫徹黨的二十大精神的開局之年。面對異常複雜的國際環境和艱巨繁重的改革發展穩定任務，以習近平同志為核心的黨中央團結帶領全國各族人民，堅持穩中求進工作總基調，頂住外部壓力、克服內部困難，頑強拼搏、勇毅前行，新冠疫情防控實現平穩轉段，經濟持續回升向好，社會大局保持穩定，高質量發展紮實推進，全面建設社會主義現代化國家邁出堅實步伐。 | The year 2023 was the first year in which we fully implemented the guiding principles from the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC). In the face of an unusually complex international environment and the challenging tasks of advancing reform and development and ensuring stability, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core brought together the Chinese people of all ethnic groups and led them in following the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability, withstanding external pressure, overcoming internal difficulties, and forging ahead with fortitude and tenacity.
As a result, China secured a smooth transition in Covid-19 response, achieved continued economic recovery and growth, ensured social stability, and took concrete steps to promote high-quality development. Solid progress has thus been made in building a modern socialist country in all respects. |
| 過去一年，是十四屆全國人大常委會依法履職的第一年。常委會全面學習貫徹黨的二十大精神，準確把握新時代新征程賦予人大的使命任務，主動適應發展大勢和時代要求，深刻領悟「兩個確立」的決定性意義，增強「四個意識」、堅定「四個自信」、做到「兩個維護」，堅守人大工作的大方向、大原則、大道理。一是堅持黨的全面領導特別是黨中央集中統一領導，保證黨的理論、路線、方針政策和決策部署在人大工作中得到全面貫徹執行；二是自覺用習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想武裝頭腦、指導實踐、推動工作，把學習貫徹習近平法治思想、習近平總書記關于堅持和完善人民代表大會制度的重要思想作為依法履職的基本功；三是堅定不移走中國特色社會主義政治發展道路，堅持好、完善好、運行好人民代表大會制度；四是踐行和發展全過程人民民主，保證人大各項工作體現人民意志、保障人民權益、與人民同心同向；五是堅持全面依法治國，弘揚社會主義法治精神，全面推進國家各方面工作法治化；六是穩中求進推動人大工作高質量發展，為以中國式現代化全面推進強國建設、民族復興偉業提供法治保障。 | The past year was the first year in which the Standing Committee of the 14th NPC performed its functions in accordance with the law. We fully studied and implemented the guiding principles from the 20th National Party Congress, grasped the missions and tasks of the people’s congresses on our new journey in the new era, and adapted to the general trend of development and the demands of our times.
We acquired a deep understanding of the decisive significance of establishing Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. We became more conscious of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership. We stayed confident in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We upheld Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and upheld the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Throughout the year, we stayed true to the following six principles that guide the work of the people’s congresses: The first is to uphold the overall leadership of the Party, especially the centralized, unified leadership of its central committee, and ensure that the Party’s theories, lines, principles, policies, decisions, and plans are fully implemented in the work of the people’s congresses. The second is to use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to equip our minds, guide our initiatives, and advance our work as we make studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law and his key ideas on upholding and improving the people’s congress system an essential prerequisite for carrying out our duties in accordance with the law. The third is to remain firmly committed to socialist political advancement with Chinese characteristics and uphold, improve, and run the people’s congress system to good effect. The fourth is to practice and develop whole-process people’s democracy and ensure that all initiatives of the people’s congresses embody the will of the people, protect their rights and interests, and are aligned with their needs and wishes. The fifth is to uphold comprehensive law-based governance, promote socialist rule of law, and ensure that all work of the state is carried out under the rule of law. The sixth is to promote high-quality development in the work of people’s congresses in accordance with the principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability and provide legal guarantees for building a great country and advancing national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization. |
| 一年來，在以習近平同志為核心的黨中央堅強領導下，常委會深入貫徹落實中央人大工作會議精神，認真貫徹落實十四屆全國人大一次會議精神，堅持黨的領導、人民當家作主、依法治國有機統一，認真履行憲法法律賦予的職責，推動人大工作取得新進展新成效，實現良好開局。 | This past year, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, we acted on the guiding principles from the Central People’s Congress Work Conference in 2021 and the first session of the 14th National People’s Congress, stayed true to the unity of leadership by the Party, the running of the country by the people, and law-based governance, and performed our functions as stipulated in the Constitution and the law. We made fresh progress and achieved new results in the work of the people’s congresses, thus getting off to a good start. |
| 一、弘揚憲法精神、履行憲法使命，提高憲法實施和監督水平 | 1. Promoting the spirit of the Constitution, fulfilling our constitutional missions, and improving our competence in implementing and overseeing compliance with the Constitution |
| 憲法是國家的根本法，是黨和人民意志的集中體現，具有最高的法律地位、法律權威、法律效力。常委會認真履行保證憲法實施、加強憲法監督的法定職責，把憲法實施和監督、憲法宣傳教育貫穿到立法、監督、決定、任免、代表等各方面工作中，堅定維護憲法權威和尊嚴，維護國家法治統一。 | The Constitution is the fundamental law of China. It is the concentrated embodiment of the will of the Party and the people, and it enjoys supreme legal status, legal authority, and legal force.
Over the past year, we faithfully performed our statutory duties of ensuring the implementation of the Constitution and strengthening oversight of its compliance. We incorporated implementation of the Constitution, oversight of constitutional compliance, and public outreach and education regarding the Constitution into all aspects of our work, including legislation, oversight, decision-making, the appointment and removal of officials, and deputy-related work. We firmly safeguarded the authority and sanctity of the Constitution and upheld uniform implementation of the rule of law. |
| 健全保證憲法實施的法律制度。憲法的生命在於實施，憲法的權威也在於實施，全面貫徹實施憲法是全面依法治國、建設社會主義法治國家的首要任務和基礎性工作。常委會堅持依憲立法，全面發揮憲法在立法中的核心地位功能，每一個立法環節都把好憲法關，努力使每一項立法都符合憲法精神、體現憲法權威、保證憲法實施。完善憲法相關法律制度，制定愛國主義教育法，堅持愛國和愛黨、愛社會主義高度統一，落實憲法關於開展愛國主義教育、維護國家統一和民族團結等規定，培育和增進全體人民對中華民族大家庭和偉大祖國的情感，鑄牢中華民族共同體意識；兩次審議國務院組織法修訂草案，並決定提請本次大會審議，這是落實國家機構組織法定原則、保障國務院依憲依法履行職責、推進國家治理體系和治理能力現代化的重大舉措。 | We improved the legal framework for ensuring the implementation of the Constitution.
The very life of the Constitution lies in its implementation, from which its authority also stems. Full implementation of the Constitution is a primary task and foundational work for comprehensive law-based governance and the development of China into a socialist country under the rule of law. Adhering to the principle of enacting laws in accordance with the Constitution, we fully leveraged the central role of the Constitution in legislation and ensured that the Constitution is observed throughout the entire legislative process, so that each and every law adopted complies with the spirit of the Constitution, reflects its authority, and ensures its implementation. We worked to improve the legal framework pertaining to the Constitution. We enacted a patriotic education law to instill in the people undivided love for the country, the Party, and socialism and implement constitutional provisions on patriotic education, national unity, and ethnic solidarity. Our goal was to nurture and promote closer bonds among the entire Chinese people with their motherland and their nation as a big family, thus forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation. We conducted two rounds of deliberation on the draft revisions to the Organic Law of the State Council, which will be submitted to this session for deliberation. This is an important step in implementing the principle of legality in the organization of state institutions, ensuring that the State Council performs its functions in accordance with the Constitution and the law, and advancing the modernization of China’s system and capacity for governance. |
| 加強憲法監督工作。憲法是國家政治和社會生活的最高法律規範，一切法律法規和規範性文件都不得同憲法相牴觸，一切違反憲法法律的行為都必須予以糾正。合憲性審查、備案審查是人大加強憲法監督的重要抓手。常委會深入推進合憲性審查工作，對所有提請審議的法律案進行合憲性審查，對法規、司法解釋等規範性文件中的合憲性、涉憲性問題進行審查研究，推動制定機關糾正不符合憲法規定、原則、精神的規範性文件。加強備案審查工作，作出關於完善和加強備案審查制度的決定，堅持有件必備、有備必審、有錯必糾，對報送備案的1753件行政法規、地方性法規、自治條例和單行條例、司法解釋、特別行政區本地法律等規範性文件進行主動審查，對公民、組織提出的2878件審查建議逐一研究，督促制定機關修改或廢止規範性文件260多件。為保證黃河保護法、青藏高原生態保護法有效實施，推動有關方面對相關規範性文件開展集中清理。探索備案審查案例指導工作。推動地方人大法規規章規範性文件數據庫建設。 | We strengthened oversight to ensure compliance with the Constitution.
The Constitution is the highest legal norm of political and social activities in our nation. No other law, regulation, or normative document may contradict the Constitution, and all actions must be corrected if they are in violation of the Constitution and the law. Constitutional review and normative document recording and review are important means for the NPC to oversee the implementation of the Constitution. We brought the work of constitutional review to a new depth. We conducted constitutional review of all of the draft laws submitted for deliberation, examined and studied issues regarding the constitutionality and constitutional implementation in regulations, judicial interpretations, and other normative documents, and pushed relevant formulating bodies to correct their normative documents in conflict with the provisions, principles, or the spirit of the Constitution. We improved the recording and review of normative documents. We made a decision on improving and strengthening the recording and review system. We continued to follow the practice of putting on record all documents that are subject to recording, reviewing all recorded documents, and correcting all errors identified. We reviewed all 1,753 normative documents submitted for recording, including administrative regulations, local regulations, autonomous regulations and separate regulations, judicial interpretations, and local laws of the special administrative regions. We examined 2,878 suggestions for review made by citizens and organizations. In doing so, we urged relevant formulating bodies to revise or rescind more than 260 normative documents. To ensure the effective implementation of the Yellow River Protection Law and the Law on Ecological Conservation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, we pushed the parties concerned to overhaul relevant normative documents. We explored methods of using typical cases to guide recording and review work and supported local people’s congresses in building databases of their regulations, rules, and other normative documents. |
| 深化憲法宣傳教育。憲法的根基在於人民發自內心的擁護，憲法的偉力在於人民出自真誠的信仰。常委會堅持憲法實施、宣傳、教育一體推進，不斷提升中國憲法理論和實踐的說服力、影響力。在第十個國家憲法日，學習貫徹習近平總書記重要指示精神，召開「弘揚憲法精神，加強憲法實施，為強國建設、民族復興提供憲法保障」座談會，堅定憲法自信，培育憲法文化，推動憲法實施成為全體人民的自覺行動。發揮人大代表在模範遵守憲法、帶頭宣傳憲法、推動憲法實施中的作用。結合當代中國憲法制度和憲法實踐，加強中國特色社會主義憲法理論研究和宣傳教育，講好中國憲法故事。 | We stepped up public outreach and education regarding the Constitution.
The foundation of the Constitution is built upon the sincere support of the people, and the strength of the Constitution comes from their genuine faith. We took a holistic approach to constitutional implementation, public outreach, and education and worked to make China’s Constitution-related theories and practices more compelling and influential. Following General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on the Constitution, we held a symposium marking the 10th National Constitution Day on December 4, 2023 in order to promote the spirit of the Constitution, strengthen the implementation of the Constitution, and provide a constitutional guarantee for building China into a great country and advancing national rejuvenation. This is part of our efforts to build firm confidence in our Constitution, foster a Constitutional culture, and help all of our people become more mindful of complying with the Constitution. We gave full play to the role of NPC deputies in exemplarily abiding by the Constitution, taking the lead in promoting public awareness regarding the Constitution, and advancing its implementation. In line with the current constitutional system and practices, we stepped up research on the socialist constitutional theory with Chinese characteristics, strengthened public outreach and education in this regard, and spread inspiring stories to the people about China’s Constitution. |
| 行使憲法賦予的任免權。任免專門委員會副主任委員和委員、代表資格審查委員會組成人員、常委會副秘書長、常委會工作機構負責人、港澳基本法委員會組成人員共55人次，任免和決定任免國務院、中央軍事委員會、最高人民法院、最高人民檢察院等工作人員251人次。組織7次憲法宣誓儀式，激勵和教育國家工作人員忠於憲法、尊崇憲法、維護憲法。 | We exercised our constitutional power of appointment and removal.
We made 55 appointments and removals of vice chairpersons and members of NPC special committees, members of the Credentials Committee, deputy secretary-generals of the Standing Committee, persons in charge of the Standing Committee working bodies, and members of the Committee on the HKSAR Basic Law and the Committee on the Macao SAR Basic Law. We approved or decided on 251 appointments and removals of officials of the State Council, the Central Military Commission, the Supreme People’s Court, and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate. We organized seven ceremonies for officials to pledge allegiance to the Constitution as they took office in order to encourage our public servants to be loyal to the Constitution, respect the Constitution, and uphold the Constitution. |
| 做好代表資格審查工作。補選全國人大代表3人，終止代表資格24人。目前，十四屆全國人大實有代表2956人。 | We performed well in examining the qualifications of the deputies. We confirmed the by-election results for 3 deputies to the NPC and terminated the credentials of 24 deputies. Currently, the NPC has 2,956 deputies. |
| 二、抓住提高立法質量這個關鍵，推動中國特色社會主義法律體系更加科學完備、統一權威 | 2. Improving the quality of legislation and better designing the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics to be more complete, unified, and authoritative |
| 立法是為國家定規矩、為社會定方圓的神聖工作。常委會認真行使國家立法權，加強重點領域、新興領域、涉外領域立法，健全國家治理急需、滿足人民美好生活需要必備、維護國家安全所急的法律制度。一年來，共審議法律案34件，通過其中21件，包括制定法律6件、修改法律8件、作出有關法律問題和重大問題的決定7件。終止審議法律案1件。決定批准或加入條約、重要協定10件。目前，我國現行有效的法律共300件。 | Legislation is of sacred value as it sets the rules for our country and society. We conscientiously exercised our country’s legislative power, bolstering legislation in key areas, emerging areas, and areas involving foreign affairs and improving laws that are urgently needed for national governance, necessary for meeting the people’s needs for a better life, and imperative for safeguarding national security.
Over the past year, we deliberated on 34 items of legislation and adopted 21 of them, which include 6 new laws, 8 revised laws, and 7 decisions on legal issues and major matters, and we terminated deliberation on 1 item of legislation. We also made decisions on ratifying or entering into 10 treaties and important agreements. Currently, China has 300 laws in effect. |
| 編制和實施立法規劃。委員長會議組成人員主持召開8場座談會，聽取省（區、市）人大常委會、中央和國家機關、人大代表、專家學者的意見建議。認真梳理代表議案建議，向177個中央和地方單位徵集立法項目建議。在深入調研論證的基礎上，編制十四屆全國人大常委會立法規劃，報請黨中央批准並轉發實施。立法規劃對本屆立法工作作出統籌部署，其中一類項目79件、二類項目51件，還有一些需要研究論證的三類項目，並對推動條件成熟的立法領域法典編纂工作、建議提請全國人民代表大會審議的法律案作出安排。召開全國人大常委會立法工作會議、全國地方立法工作座談會，部署落實立法規劃，加強和改進新時代立法工作。 | We drew up and began to implement a new plan for legislation.
Members of the Council of Chairpersons presided over eight meetings soliciting opinions and suggestions from the standing committees of provincial people’s congresses, the central CPC and state institutions, NPC deputies, experts, and scholars. We thoroughly reviewed the deputies』 proposals and suggestions and sought advice from 177 central and local organizations on items of legislation. Based on in-depth research and discussions, we drew up a legislative plan and released it for implementation after approval from the CPC Central Committee. The plan sets out overall legislative arrangements of the 14th NPC, including 79 items in Category I, 51 items in Category II, and items in need of further research in Category III. It also includes arrangements for enacting new codes in areas where the necessary conditions are met and the legislative items to be submitted to the NPC sessions for deliberation.

We formulated a law on ecological conservation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to coordinate comprehensive, systematic, source-based improvement of the area’s various ecosystems, including mountain, water, forest, farmland, grassland, desert, and glacial ecosystems. This law provides legal guarantees for ecological conservation and sustainable development of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We revised the Marine Environment Protection Law to strengthen monitoring and management of the marine environment and intensify efforts to protect and restore marine ecosystems.

We established by law the 15th of August as National Ecology Day, with a view to helping our people embrace the idea that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and encouraging the whole nation to pursue harmony between humanity and nature both in thinking and through action. We began codifying environmental laws and established a task force to carry out this work.

We enacted a foreign relations law, affirming in law the diplomatic principles and policies that China has long upheld, as well as the guidelines, basic principles, ideas, propositions, responsibilities, and missions for developing foreign relations in the new era. This law laid a solid foundation for establishing a complete system of laws and regulations related to foreign affairs.

Upholding the Party’s overall leadership over legislative work, the NPC fully played its leading role in legislation. As we took coordinated steps to enact, revise, abolish, interpret, and codify laws, we worked hard to find the right balance between the timeline, pacing, and efficacy and make our legislative work more systematic, holistic, coordinated, and responsive. In conforming to the objective laws and the laws underlying legislative work, we exercised effective supervision over all links of legislation, including the launching of projects, drafting, deliberation, and voting. We prioritized quality over speed and worked to see that our legislation responds to the needs of economic and social development. Our goal was to ensure that each of our laws represents the will of the people, attends to their wellbeing, and has their support. Of the legislative items we deliberated on over the past year, 14 items, or 41 percent of the total, were drafted under the guidance of NPC special committees and working commissions and committees of the Standing Committee. We established more local legislative outreach offices and helped them to improve their work. To date, the total number of such offices under the NPC Standing Committee Legislative Affairs Commission has increased to 45. This has inspired provincial and municipal people’s congresses to establish more than 6,500 local legislative outreach offices, expanding channels for directly hearing the views of the general public on legislation. We solicited 24 rounds of public opinion on draft laws and received more than 200,000 comments and suggestions from all sectors of society. Broad consensus has been built on legislation through legislative research, meetings, debates, and assessments. |
| 三、用好憲法法律賦予人大的監督權，增強監督工作的針對性、實效性 | 3. Making good use of the oversight power conferred on us by the Constitution and the law and ensuring that our oversight is more targeted and effective |
| 人大監督是黨和國家監督體系的重要組成部分，是國家權力機關代表人民進行的、具有法律效力的監督。常委會堅持圍繞中心、服務大局、突出重點，實行正確監督、有效監督、依法監督，推動黨中央決策部署貫徹落實，保證憲法法律全面有效實施，保證各國家機關依法行使權力，保證人民群眾合法權益得到維護和實現。一年來，共聽取審議「一府兩院」22個報告，檢查5件法律實施情況，組織開展2次專題詢問、7項專題調研，作出2項決議。依法依規辦理群眾來信來訪157212件次。 | Oversight by people’s congresses is an important part of the oversight system of the Party and the country; it is carried out by organs of state power on behalf of the people with the force of law.
Focusing on the central task of economic development, overall national interests, and work in key areas, we carried out appropriate, effective oversight in accordance with the law. In this way, we helped advance implementation of the CPC Central Committee’s decisions and plans and ensured that the Constitution and the law were fully and effectively implemented, state organs exercised their powers in accordance with the law, and the people’s legal rights and interests were safeguarded and advanced.
