Translation
1. The National People's Congress (NPC) is the highest institution of state power and together with its permanent body --- the Standing Committee of the NPC, exercises the legislative power of the state.
2. The NPC Standing Committee's power of legislation is not without restraints. Compared with the legislative power of the NPC, the Standing Committee may not amend the Constitution. But it is authorized:
(1) to interpret the Constitution and supervise its enforcement;
(2) to enact and amend laws, with the exception of those which should be enacted by the NPC;
(3) to partially supplement and amend, when the NPC is not in session, laws enacted by the NPC provided that the basic principles of these laws are not contravened; (4) to interpret laws.
3. In accordance with the structure of the lawmaking powers, Chinese law can be divided into four levels, i.e., the Constitution, laws adopted by the NPC and its Standing Committee, administrative regulations adopted by the State Council and local regulations by the people's congresses of provinces, autonomous regions and cities.
