Premier Li Qiang signs State Council order to amend and repeal administrative regulations
《国务院关于修改和废止部分行政法规的决定》公布
Premier Li Qiang signed a State Council order to amend 12 administrative regulations and repeal three, effective August 15, 2026. The changes aim to align existing rules with the new Ecological Environment Code, which takes effect the same day. The order updates legal references and resolves inconsistencies, while repealing outdated regulations to support 'high-quality development' and ecological progress.
