A civil code that answers the call of the era will help advance the modernization of China's system and capacity for governance, Wang said.
IMPROVEMENTS
At Monday's plenary meeting of the session, Shen also briefed lawmakers on the changes made to the general provisions and six other sections of the draft after previous readings.
In the contracts section, the draft makes a clearer stipulation to ban "usury," stating that "the interest rates of loans shall not violate relevant national regulations."
The stipulation is expected to provide more legal basis to address prominent problems in the area of private lending, said Meng Qiang, director of the research center on civil code at the Beijing Institute of Technology.
Banning usury will encourage people to invest more in the real economy, which will facilitate the high-quality development of China's economy, said Wang.
The personality rights section of the draft stipulates that Party and government departments, enterprises, schools and other institutions shall adopt appropriate measures to prevent and stop sexual harassment behaviors that take advantage of power or posts, revising a previous unspecific provision.
Other modifications have also been made, such as improvements on the system of the right of habitation, the definition of privacy and new rules on handling cyberspace torts.
Lawmakers will deliberate the draft civil code in panel discussions on Tuesday.
