Hello and welcome to the 12th issues of Beijing Review.
Photo by CNSPHOTO NPC & CPPCC CLOSE-UP Amending the Fundamental Law is about the revision of China’s constitution during the First Session of the 13th National People’s Congress. The first changes to the constitution in 14 years aim to give fuller range to the advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics and enhance the ability to further modernize China’s system and governance. NPC & CPPCC CLOSE-UP Supervision of Power discusses the new supervisory commissions to be formed under the Supervisory Law. Independent exercise of power will enable the commissions to be more rigorous, and cover everyone in the public sector, and will give intensified anti-corruption efforts a wider scope. NATION How China Made It explores the political philosophy behind China’s dramatic rise in recent decades. Forty years ago, Deng Xiaoping prioritized the eradication of poverty as a primary national objective, putting people’s livelihoods first and setting motion gradual economic reforms that have transformed China into a huge modern state. This cautious approach has enhanced political stability and allowed avoidance of the world’s financial and economic crises while delivering rising standards of living to the people.
