According to Zhang Dejiang, Chinese lawmakers will speed up legislation to fight corruption, and will work to revise the law on air pollution prevention and control in 2015.

Lawmakers are also expected to review draft revisions to China's Legislation Law at the annual session, which bans ministries and local governments from issuing rules and policies that mitigate citizens' rights or increase their obligations without legal foundation.

Liang Ying, a member of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPC Standing Committee, meanwhile cast his eyes on a bigger picture.

He said the NPC could play an important role in the implementation of the strategic layout of "Four Comprehensives," which was elevated as a main theme of the ongoing annual parliamentary session.

The "Four Comprehensives," unveiled by Xi Jinping, refers to comprehensively building a moderately prosperous society, deepening reform, advancing the rule of law and strictly governing the Party.

"As the supreme organ of state power, the NPC could serve to push forward the implementation of the 'Four Comprehensives' by pooling wisdom and strength from the entire society," he said.
