Law-Based Counterterrorism Efforts.

The State Council Information Office has published a white paper titled "China's Legal Framework and Measures for Counterterrorism," which focuses on the Chinese Government's legislative work in the fight against terrorism. The white paper highlights China's development of a coherent and consistent legal system to support its counterterrorism efforts, emphasizing the protection of welfare, security, and human rights. China's counterterrorism efforts are in line with international legal instruments and the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. The country has also established a counterterrorism legal system in collaboration with neighboring countries, forming a comprehensive legal basis for joint efforts against terrorism. China's legislation, including the Constitution, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure Law, National Security Law, and Counterterrorism Law, provides strong legal support for counterterrorism efforts. These efforts have significantly reduced violent terrorist attacks and ensured the right to life of its citizens. Additionally, combating terrorism has protected economic rights, leading to rapid and stable economic growth. China's law-based approach to counterterrorism has also safeguarded freedom of religious belief and improved human rights. The white paper emphasizes that China's counterterrorism efforts align with global values, UN norms, and its own national conditions and legal institutions. [Extracted from the article]
