BEIJING - China's lawmakers on Monday considered for the fifth time the draft administrative mandatory law, the first of its kind to prevent abuse of administrative power.

The draft law was submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress(NPC), China's top legislature, for its fifth reading. Once adopted, it would mark the completion of China's legal framework regarding the administrative authority of government agencies.
