Such arrangements ensure the quality of the law review. The revision of the rules of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress this time, according to the actual practical method of many years, increased the provisions: During the period of the law on the National People's Congress, it can be proposed to the Standing Committee during the period of closure of the National People's Congress; , Make a decision to review the National People's Congress for review.

This is the first time that the State Council reports to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in accordance with the requirements of "full -caliber and full coverage". Since then, the state -owned assets are gradually institutionalized. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress will consider the annual comprehensive report and special report of the year of state -owned assets management every year, and manage the common wealth of all the people of state -owned assets.
