Chinese Policy on the Rule of Law and Its Implementation WP3 - Summary of Analysed Sources

A summary of analysed sources for the WP3 Chinese Policy on the Rule of Law and Its Implementation of the project Chinese Conceptualisation of the Rule of Law (CLAW): Challenges for the International Legal Order, funded by the OP JAC Project "MSCA Fellowships at Palacký University II." CZ.02.01.01/00/22_010/0006945 at Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic. For the purposes of the analysis, a total of 364 Mandarin Chinese documents discussing the rule of law, published between 2012 and 2022, were selected. These documents were freely accessible on official Chinese websites, including those of the Communist Party of China (CCP), the National People's Congress (NPC), and the State Council Information Office (SCIO). The corpus comprises a diverse range of text formats, including short news reports, policy announcements, annual reports, press conferences, and opinion pieces. A substantial portion of these documents reiterates key policy announcements and documents. These are described in more detail in this document, together with a list of main events, including the (Plenary) Sessions of the Central Committee of the CCP and the National People's Congress.
