電商法草案首次提請審議 委員建議進一步完善微商規範

China's top legislature is deliberating a draft law that will regulate and facilitate booming e-commerce in the country.

中國最高立法機關正在審議一份規範和促進中國電子商務的法律草案。

The draft law was submitted for review by legislators at the bimonthly session of the NationAl People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee. It is the first reading of the draft by the top legislature.

這份法律草案是由人大委員在全國人大常務委員會雙月會議上提出的。這是全國人大對該草案的第一次審議。

Explaining the draft to lawmakers, Lyu Zushan, deputy director with the NPC's Financial and Economic Affairs Committee, said booming e-commerce in recent years had served to reveal loopholes in China's legal system and commercial rules.

全國人大財政經濟委員會副主任呂祖善向人大代表們解釋了這一草案並表示，近些年電子商務的蓬勃發展顯示了中國法律系統和商業規則中存在的一些漏洞。

The draft law will facilitate e-commerce growth, help maintain market order and protect consumer rights.

這份法律草案將會促進電子商務的發展，幫助維護市場秩序和消費者權益。

The draft law said the nation should put online and offline commercial activities on an equal footing and protect the safety of e-commerce transactions. All e-commerce operators have an obligation to pay taxes and should acquire the necessary business certificates.

草案提出，中國將會把線上線下商業活動同等對待、保護電子商務交易的安全。所有電子商務經營者都有納稅的義務，並且應當取得所需的營業執照。

Operators must also ensure personal information security for consumers. Those that fail will face fines of up to 500,000 yuan and could have their business certificates revoked.

此外，經營者還必須保障消費者的個人信息安全。沒能履行這一義務的電商將面臨最高50萬的罰款，並且可能會被吊銷營業執照。

China is the world's largest e-commerce market. According to Lyu, e-commerce trade amounted to over 20 trillion yuan (about 2.87 trillion U.S. dollars) in 2015, with online retail sales totaling 3.88 trillion yuan.

中國是全世界最大的電子商務市場。據呂祖善表示，2015年我國電子商務貿易額超過了20萬億人民幣（約合2.87萬億美元），其中網絡零售額總計3.88萬億人民幣。
