Lawmakers listen to an explanation about the draft Property Rights Law that grants equal protection to state and private properties in the Great Hall of the People March 8, 2007.

Beijing, March 8 - China's top legislature, the National People's Congress (NPC), on Thursday started examining two draft laws aimed to grant equal protection to state and private properties and introduce a unified¹ income tax for domestic and foreign-funded enterprises.

The draft property law and the draft enterprises income tax law were submitted for deliberation to the ongoing² annual full session of the Tenth NPC, as the lawmakers started their second plenary meeting in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing at 9 a.m. Thursday.

"Enacting³ the property law is necessitated⁴ by the need to uphold the basic socialist⁵ economic system...by the need to regulate the order of the socialist market economy...(and) by the need to safeguard the immediate⁶ interests of the people," said Wang Zhaoguo, vice⁷ chairman of the NPC Standing⁸ Committee, while reading an explanation on the law to the lawmakers.

The law is enacted⁹ to apply "the principle of equal protection to the property of the state, the collective and the individual in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution" and "strengthen the protection of state-owned property", Wang said.

He said under the conditions of the socialist market economy, which is stipulated¹⁰ in the Constitution, all players have equal status on the market, enjoy the same rights, observe the same rules and bear the same responsibilities.

"If the different subjects of the market are not provided with equal protection, or if the methods used for settling disputes or the legal responsibilities to be borne are varied¹¹, it will not be possible to develop the socialist market economy, nor will it be possible to uphold and improve the basic economic system of socialism," Wang said.

To prevent loss of state property, the draft strengthens the protection of state-owned property from five aspects, stipulating¹² that illegal possession, looting, illegal sharing, withholding¹³ or destruction of state property is prohibited.

Those who cause loss of state property shall bear legal liability, according to a full text of the draft distributed to reporters at the session.

Wang said the law was also drafted with the principle of "giving a full and accurate expression to the basic policies of the Party in rural areas at the present stage" and was written to address the most urgent problems to coordinate¹⁴ all kinds of interests and promote harmony.

In order to grant the farmers a long-term and guaranteed land-use right, the draft property law stipulates¹⁵ that when farmers' land contracts expire, the contractor¹⁶ can have the contract renewed.

As part of the draft civil code, the property law was submitted to the NPC Standing Committee for the first review in 2002 after nearly 10 years of preparation.

To fully¹⁷ consider the interests of all social sectors¹⁸, the law's drafters published the law to the public in July 2005 and pooled more than 10,000 suggestions.

After an unprecedented¹⁹ seven times of reading, NPC Standing Committee decided²⁰ last December to put it for voting at the Fifth Session of the Tenth NPC, believing that the draft "represented a crystallization of the wisdom of the collective and was about to be mature".

China's legal experts said that the draft reflects China's basic socialist economic system and will help improve China's socialist market economy and speed up the building of harmonious²¹ socialist society once adopted.
