BEIJING, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- Chinese lawmakers on Saturday voted to adopt a revision to the Foreign Trade Law.
The revised law, which was passed at a session of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, will take effect on March 1, 2026.

In implementing related reform measures, the revision adds provisions on advancing China's efforts to actively align with high-standard international economic and trade rules, and to participate in the formulation of international economic and trade regulations.
To further optimize the development environment for foreign trade, the revised law clarifies that China will strengthen intellectual property protection related to foreign trade, and enhance the compliance and risk response capabilities of foreign trade operators regarding intellectual property rights.
The revision also enriches and improves China's legal toolkit on struggles in foreign trade arena, and supplements and refines corresponding countermeasures.
