Follow the Right Path: Adhere to the Path of the Socialist Rule of Law with Chinese Characteristics

As the saying goes, destiny is determined by path. For whatever course to pursue, we must find and follow the right path in order to succeed. Similarly, in terms of the rule of law, the right path will lead us to effective governance, while the wrong path will result in unfavorable consequences.

China, as a socialist country and the largest developing country in the world, must build the rule of law in accordance with its national conditions and act according to circumstances.
