China has launched the fourth monthly campaign promoting a ‘civil code’ in May, focusing on optimising the legal business environment.

The country’s ministry of justice announced this on Thursday.

According to a plan for the campaign this year, it will address urgent concerns of market entities and the people.

It would continue to publicise the civil code and other related laws and regulations to promote new high-quality productive forces and create a favourable environment for high-quality development.

The campaign would deepen the study and promotion of the civil code, focusing on issues such as equal protection, fair competition, and risk prevention.
