Since the Eighteenth Party Congress, China has speeded up the construction of the rule of law under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core and around the general objective of “constructing a socialist system of the rule of law with Chinese characteristics and building China into a socialist state under the rule of law”. Recently, the news paper Guangming Daily interviewed a number of prominent legal scholars in China, including Professor Li Lin, Director of CASS Law Institute, and Professor Sun Xianzhong, a research fellow of CASS Law Institute, on the new developments in the rule of law in China. In the interview, Professor Li pointed out that, in the strategic arrangement of “Four Comprehensiveness”, the reform and the rule of law are indispensible to each other, just like the two wings of a bird or two wheels of a chariot: “on the one hand, the reform needs to be guided by the rule of law, or it will go astray; on the other hand, the rule of law must keep up with the space of the reform, or it will be lagged behind.” Comprehensively implementing the rule of law means to take the safeguarding of people’s rights and interests as its fundamental objective and the principle of taking people as the center of the construction of the rule of law means to construct the rule of law for the people and by the people.
