Imagine that someone walks down the street and is suddenly hit by something coming from a high-rise building. Who should be responsible if he ? Have you ever calls of texts from businesses which nearly drive you mad? How can you protect your personal information? All these topics will be in the Civil Code (民法典).
The Civil Code is a designed to cover individual rights. Through the code, China hopes to build a country under the rule of law.
China's first civil code came after years of hard work. In 1954, 1962, 1979 and 2001, China made separate attempts to draft a civil code. Since 2015 China has been working on the present draft. The adoption of the Civil Code represents a milestone for the protection of human rights and the development of rule of law in China.
