Under the guidance of the policy of promoting socialist democracy and building a sound socialist legal system formulated at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee have, since 1979, enacted many important laws. These laws have been compiled and published in succession by the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China.
　　 In order to acquaint readers abroad with China’s laws and with what China has achieved in building a new legal system, the collections in Chinese entitled the Laws of the People’s Republic of China, covering the period of 1979-2012, have been translated into English and published in 24 volumes at the Foreign Languages Press, the Science Press, and the Law Press respectively. We are now publishing, as Volume 25, the English edition of The Laws of the People’s Republic of China (2013) at the Law Press. The publication note in the Chinese edition is not included.
　　 This Volume (Vol.25) includes the laws and the decisions amending the laws, which were adopted by the National People’s Congress or its Standing Committee in 2013.
　　This English edition represents a collective effort by specialists in law and in English translation working under the aegis of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. We wish to pay tribute to Tong Xiaohua, who revised and finalized the translations. Besides, a number of Chinese organizations provided the draft translations of the laws related to their work, and Xia Jihong and Da Ji did much work in the translation and preparation of this Volume. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all the persons and organizations that contributed to the publication of this Volume.
　　In spite of the great care taken by the translators and editors to produce an accurate translation, shortcomings and oversights are hardly avoidable, and criticism from readers will be appreciated.
　　In case of discrepancy between the English translation and the original Chinese text, the Chinese edition of The Laws of the People’s Republic ofChina shall prevail.
　　The laws to be formulated by the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee will be translated into English and published in forthcoming volumes.
