China said its 2026-30 legal agenda will expand rulemaking for public security, artificial intelligence, the low-altitude economy and intellectual property, with courts also preparing adjudication rules on data ownership, data trading and AI-generated content.
60 legislative proposals were submitted by the Ministry of Justice to the NPC Standing Committee during 2021-25, alongside 165 proposed amendments to administrative regulations, giving the next five-year plan a broad base for new laws.
23 laws and 19 administrative regulations were formulated or revised with public security authorities' participation over the past five years, covering issues such as telecom fraud, juvenile crime, noise pollution and objects thrown from high-rise buildings.
August 15 is when the new Ecological and Environmental Code takes effect, and courts said they will draft judicial interpretations to support low-carbon and new energy industries as China broadens its legal framework.
