Top legislator stresses implementation of Constitution

BEIJING, March 27 (Xinhua) -- China's top legislator Li Zhanshu Tuesday asked every Chinese to be "a loyal supporter, active follower and firm defender of the Constitution."

"Both the life and authority of Constitution lie in its implementation," said Li, chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, at a symposium on the study, publicizing and implementation of the Constitution.

Li said the constitutional amendment, which was adopted at the first session of the 13th NPC earlier this month, fully embodies the major innovative achievements in theory, practice and systems made by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the people through practice. Enditem
