BEIJING, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- A senior Chinese official has encouraged the country's young jurists to more actively participate in the country's legislative process and better serve the practice of law enforcement.

Zhou Yongkang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks in meeting with outstanding youth law science experts on Tuesday in Beijing.
