China to revise oath of alliegiance for officials

Xinhua,February 23, 2018 Adjust font size:

BEIJING, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- China plans to revise the oath of allegiance to the Constitution taken by people in public office to include adjectives of "great" and "modern" before "a socialist country."

The draft revision was submitted to a session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), the top legislature, for review on Friday.

China introduced oath-taking for officials in January 2016, based on a legislative decision passed in 2015.
