The Chinese authorities are expected to pass the mainland's first property rights law following the next plenary session of the National People's Congress in March 2005, it emerged this week.
The legislation, which will protect the constitutional right of individuals, businesses and the state to own and use property, is currently undergoing its third round of Standing Committee scrutiny.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post this week, Yin Tian of Peking University's law school, who helped to draft the proposed law, explained that:
"It gives equal treatment to all assets, no matter if they belong to individuals, collective groups or the state, so they cannot be infringed upon by administrative powers or the state."
Although the constitution contains a clause stating that privately-owned assets cannot be infringed upon, it cannot currently be referred to by the courts when infringement cases are brought before them.
