貫徹依法治國基本方略，不斷完善中國特色社會主義法治體系

We must implement the basic strategy of law-based governance and improve the system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics

全面推進依法治國是關係我們黨執政興國、關係人民幸福安康、關係黨和國家長治久安的重大戰略問題，是完善和發展中國特色社會主義制度、推進國家治理體系和治理能力現代化的重要方面。

Comprehensively advancing the rule of law is a strategic issue that concerns the CPC’s governance and national rejuvenation， the happiness and wellbeing of the people， and the long-term stability of the Party and the country。 It is important for developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and advancing the modernization of China’s system and capacity for governance。

全國人大及其常委會作為國家立法機關，在全面依法治國大局中發揮著不可替代的作用。建設中國特色社會主義法治體系必須堅持立法先行，發揮立法的引領和推動作用，深入推進科學立法、民主立法、依法立法。

As the legislative organs of the state， the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee are irreplaceable in the endeavor to advance the rule of law。 As we build the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics， we must ensure that legislation comes first， that it provides guidance and impetus， and that it is well-conceived， democratic， and compliant with the provisions of law。

為貫徹新發展理念、構建新發展格局、實現高質量發展提供法治保障。

This will ensure we have legal guarantees for implementing the new development philosophy， creating a new development dynamic， and achieving high-quality development。
