If the rule of law prospers, the country will prosper; if the rule of law is strong, the country will be strong.

The fundamental purpose of the construction of the socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics is to protect the rights and interests of the people. The draft civil code fully reflects the interests of the people, reflects their will, protects their rights and interests, and improves their well-being. In the new era, the people's demands for democracy, rule of law, fairness, justice, security, environment and other aspects are growing day by day. They hope to protect their rights more fully and effectively. The purpose of compiling the civil code is to meet the people's pursuit of a better life. The draft civil code actively responds to social hot demands, stipulates the responsibility for damages caused by throwing objects at high altitude, and solves people's "overhead pain"; Improve the product liability system to ensure "tip of the tongue safety"; In response to the new problems brought about by the epidemic, we made a series of targeted and latest modifications in a timely manner to build a legal fulcrum for epidemic prevention and control.

The essence of socialist market economy is an economy governed by law, and the civil code is an important legal cornerstone to promote and ensure the healthy and orderly development of China's socialist market economy. The construction of China's civil legal system has always adhered to the tradition of "civil and commercial integration", compiled the civil code, further improved the basic legal system and rules of conduct in the civil and commercial field, and provided basic compliance for various civil and commercial activities, which is conducive to fully mobilizing the enthusiasm and creativity of civil subjects, maintaining transaction security, and maintaining market order. The draft civil code advocates the value principle of good faith, stipulates that private legal property is protected by law, and also establishes the party's autonomy of will and the principle of good faith as the basis for freedom of contract, so as to cultivate the spirit of keeping faith and practicing the contract in the whole society and create a stable, fair and orderly business environment.

The rule of law is an important support for the national governance system and capacity, and the codification of the civil code is a major measure to promote the comprehensive rule of law and the modernization of the national governance system and capacity. The civil law, together with the legal norms in other fields of the country, supports the national system and national governance system, and is the basic legal norms to ensure the normal and effective operation of the national system and national governance system. Compiling the civil code is to comprehensively summarize the practical experience of civil legislation and justice in China, systematically compile and compile the existing civil separate laws, compile relevant civil legal norms into a comprehensive code, constantly improve the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics, and better play the role of the rule of law as a safeguard to consolidate the foundation, stabilize expectations, and benefit the long-term.

Promoting high-quality economic and social development is inseparable from the protection of the rule of law. The experience of 40 years of reform and opening up tells us that the rule of law is indispensable to the work of reform, development and stability. The deeper the reform and opening up, the more emphasis should be placed on the rule of law. The rule of law can equally protect the property rights and legitimate rights and interests of various market subjects in accordance with the law, and can adjust the interests of various market subjects within the framework of the rule of law, which is an inevitable path to improve the business environment. Guizhou will not only take practical and effective measures to ensure the full and correct implementation of the Civil Code, but also take the implementation of the Civil Code as an opportunity to systematically promote the construction of Guizhou under the rule of law, provide a stronger guarantee for the development of Guizhou under the rule of law and inject a stronger impetus for the rule of law.
