Abstract
On July 1, 1979, during the Second Session of the Fifth National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China (PRC), seven important laws were passed. Among these new laws were complete codes of criminal law and criminal procedure.The approval of these laws—particularly the codes of criminal law and procedure—is, to anyone with more than a casual interest in the PRC's legal system, an act of great significance. The Chinese themselves certainly view this event as being quite important and have devoted considerable time and effort to propagandizing its meaning for their society.
