BEIJING, Oct. 25 -- China's top legislature Friday passed a revision to the law on consumer rights and interests, the first time since the law was adopted in 1993.
The Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress adopted the bill through a vote at its bi-monthly session, which closed here Friday. The bill has been through three readings since April this year.
The revision focused on better protection of rights and interests of consumers, added regulations on booming Internet shopping and tightened liabilities of business.
The law came when the country has been trying to turn domestic consumption into an engine of its economic growth.
