BEIJING, March 16 - China's parliament, the National People's Congress (NPC), began its closing meeting of the annual session at 10 a.m. Friday, approving a landmark¹ property law and a corporate² income tax law.

The two laws, granting equal protection to public and private properties and putting domestic and foreign-funded enterprises on an equal footing for income taxes, were adopted by an overwhelming majority vote.

Observers said the laws are the fruit of China's reform and opening up and will in turn stimulate³ the reform and opening-up ofthe country.

The property law showed the spirit of reform and opening up of China, since it protects the order of the socialist⁴ market economy and grants equal protection to public and private property, said Wang Shengming, vice⁵ head of the Commission of Legislative⁶ Affairs of the NPC Standing⁷ Committee.

Liu Hezhang, a member of the NPC Standing Committee, said the property law is a signal of further reform and opening up as its adoption⁸ suggests China will not start a new round of "capitalism⁹ or socialism" dispute.

Meanwhile, Lu Jianzhong, NPC deputy and chairman of Shaanxi Jiaxin Group, said the corporate income tax law, which puts domestic and foreign-funded enterprises on an equal footing for income taxes for the first time since China's opening up began in 1978, brings China's economy more in line with international practice.

The NPC annual session has received a total of 796 motions, said Sheng Huaren, vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee. Among the motions 794 were raised by groups of at least 30 NPC deputies each and two by provincial-level delegations¹⁰.

The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top advisory¹¹ body, adopted a political resolution on Thursday at the closing meeting of its annual session to give full support to the government work report by Premier¹² Wen Jiabao, reports on the work of the Supreme¹³ People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the draft property right law and the draft enterprise income tax law.
