                   laws.
                       We  revised  the  Patent  Law,  the  Copyright  Law,  and  the  Scientific  and

                   Technological Progress Law to help build China’s strength and self-reliance in
                   science  and  technology.  To  ensure  taxation  is  administered  in  accordance
                   with  the  law,  we  enacted  the  Cultivated  Land  Occupation  Tax  Law,  the
                   Vehicle  Purchase  Tax  Law,  the  Resource  Tax  Law,  the  Urban  Maintenance
                   and Construction Tax Law, the Deed Transfer Tax Law, and the Stamp Tax

                       (2) We accelerated legislation relating to national security.

                       Giving  prominence  to  safeguarding  national  security  in  our  legislative

                   and  long-arm  jurisdiction  and  provided  legal  protection  for the  interests  of
                   our country and our people.

                   persons,  arms  trade,  joint  military  exercises,  counter-terrorism,  and  civil
                   aviation. We formulated the Law on International Mutual Legal Assistance in
                   Criminal  Matters  and  revised  the  Criminal  Procedure  Law,  thus  providing

                   legal  means  for  pursuing  fugitives  who  have  fled  abroad  and  recovering
