Tips

usage
China's legal hierarchy: 宪法 (Constitution) > 法律 (national laws by NPC) > 行政法规 (State Council regulations) > 地方法规 (local regs by provincial/major-city People's Congresses) > 规章 (departmental / local-government rules). 地方法规 have legal force only inside their jurisdiction and cannot contradict anything above them.
