Other Regulations

There are many principles that administrative law should follow, which can be roughly divided into three categories based on different levels: political principles and constitutional principles. This is the highest principle of Chinese administrative law, which sets the direction, path, and fundamental nature of the development of administrative law. The second category is the general principles of administrative law, also known as basic principles. This type of principle is located under political and constitutional principles, and refers to all administrative legal norms along with administrative law. The third type implements special principles of administrative law, which are located below the basic principles, arise from administrative law, and guide local administrative legal norms. For example, if administrative litigation is not suspended, the defendant is responsible for the burden of proof.
