4 The translations are mostly new ones prepared specifically for this work. There are no official English translations of any of the Chinese laws, but unofficial translations of most of the newer statutes and regulations have appeared under Chinese auspices in a volume by the Beijing Foreign Languages Press, and in the Beijing Review, China Daily, and other Chinese publications. The editors and translators, however, have chosen to retranslate these, apparently in an effort to assure overall consistency. While the original Chinese texts are not provided, the original titles and the date of promulgation are, assuring precise identification of the translated law.
