General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasised the strengthening of the foreign-related legislation during the tenth collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC),which has brought the'foreign-related legislation'back to the perspective of the construction of China's legal system.Today's foreign-related legislation and the foreign-related legislation at the beginning of the reform and opening-up period belong to the scope of domestic law and are part of the domestic legal system,but the content and function have changed.As the basis of the rule of law in foreign-related matters,today's foreign-related legislation transcends the initial focus on'investment promotion'and the two-track legislative model,and pays more attention to the regulation of international relations,safeguarding national sovereignty,security and development interests,and promoting the progress of the international rule of law and the building of a community of shared destiny for mankind.This return and transcendence is the result of changes in the international landscape and the development of the rule of law in China.
