China’s top legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC), passed the country’s first-ever civil code Thursday during its annual meeting in Beijing.

The code covers areas including private property, personal privacy, marriage and family, inheritance, and contracts. It will come into effect on Jan. 1, 2021.

The civil code, an amalgamation of existing civil laws, includes 1,260 articles. It is the first time the People’s Republic of China has codified its legal system, according to Wang Chen, vice chairman of the NPC’s standing committee.

Wang also said amendments have been made to reflect the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. For instance, one article was amended to give community officials the responsibility to care for minors who are without guardians caring for them due to emergencies.
