The Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress has opened its bi-monthly session. 

During the four-day session, lawmakers will review a number of draft laws and regulations including a draft amendment to the Wildlife Protection Law and a draft law to regulate overseas NGOs. Lawmakers say that strengthening the management of overseas non-governmental organizations' activities according to China's rules and regulations, and expediting the process of enacting laws are part of the country's efforts to promote the rule of law.

They will not only help maintain state security and social stability, but also protect the legal interests of these organizations.
