Annual Session of 9th NPC, CPPCC

   BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese legislatures at all levels
have been busy overhauling the existing laws and regulations since
the country joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) late last
year, the spokesman for the coming annual session of China's top
legislature said Monday.
   Zeng Jianhui, the spokesman for the Fifth Session of the Ninth
National People's Congress (NPC), said China will abide by WTO
rules to the letter and honor its commitments to the world trade
body.
   China will enact new laws and regulations, and revise those
incompatible with WTO rules, the spokesman said.
   Zeng said the NPC and its Standing Committee has amended seven
laws in line with China's WTO commitments since late 1999.
