🎉 The Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress wrapped up its 18th session in Beijing, on the Chinese mainland! Lawmakers gave the green light to a series of big updates that could shape everything from ocean trade to digital security. Here's the lowdown:
- 🌊 Revised Maritime Law: Aimed at boosting sustainable use of our seas and ports.
- 🏘️ Organic Law of Urban Residents' Committees: Fresh rules to improve local community governance.
- 💻 Cybersecurity Law update: Tighter protections for data and online spaces.
- 🌿 Environmental Protection Tax Law: New tax policies to power the green economy.

President Xi Jinping signed presidential orders to make these changes official. That means these laws will roll out soon, affecting entrepreneurs, digital natives, and environmental advocates alike.
On the leadership front, lawmakers appointed General Zhang Shengmin as a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People’s Republic of China, while removing He Weidong from the post. ⚔️ This move signals fresh shifts in military leadership.
