Rule-of-Law Practice in Northeast China Against the Background of Comprehensive Revitalization

Abstract

To advance the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era and on the new journey, it is imperative to implement the strategic blueprint outlined at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which calls for achieving new breakthroughs in the region’s holistic rejuvenation. From the perspective of rule-of-law development in the three northeastern provinces and the eastern Inner Mongolia autonomous region, this paper examines the background and essence of rule-of-law thinking, and provides a detailed analysis of the progress made in key areas such as promoting scientific legislation, rigorous law enforcement, impartial justice, and fostering a law-abiding society across the Northeast. By improving legislation in critical and emerging sectors, refining accountability mechanisms for administrative law enforcement personnel to enhance professional standards, and implementing diversified dispute-resolution mechanisms, the region is steadily moving toward an ideal scenario in which everyone abides by the law, legal channels are utilized to resolve issues, and conflicts are settled through legal means. Furthermore, it identifies existing challenges in the current rule-of-law construction process, including the lagging legislative system in some economic and social fields, the insufficient coordination between law enforcement departments, and the need to further enhance the legal awareness of the general public. Based on these analyses, the paper puts forward targeted countermeasures and suggestions, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for optimizing the rule-of-law environment in Northeast China, thereby creating a solid legal guarantee for the region’s high-quality development and comprehensive revitalization.
