In the decision draft for reconsideration submitted to the 10th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 11th National People's Congress on August 24th, provisions regarding "speculation and profiteering" and "the crime of speculation and profiteering" in four laws including the "People's Republic of China Metrology Law" were deleted and revised. It has been 12 years since the last revision of the criminal law when the "crime of speculation and profiteering" was abolished. In the ninth year of entering the 21st century, the current Chinese law finally no longer has the economic charge of "speculation and profiteering".
