Most lawmakers say they are confident the new Constitution will bring about better development for the country. Han Peng reports.  

Nearly 3,000 lawmakers cast secret ballots on the Constitutional amendment.

LIU HUAIPING, NPC DEPUTY ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION WORKER "As a grassroots environment protection worker, I'm glad to see the new Constitution included the term 'ecological civilization'. It's a sign the country will pay more attention to this field."

CHEN YAN, NPC DEPUTY MAYOR OF GUIYANG "The newly amended Constitution provides the necessary conditions for the long-term stability of our country."

At a press briefing following the vote, a number of questions focused on the removal of the two-term limit for the Presidency.

Currently, China does not impose term limits on the CPC General Secretary or Military Commission Chairman. Officials say it's necessary to have the three posts served by one official at one time.

SHEN CHUNYAO, DIRECTOR LEGAL AFFAIRS COMMISSION OF NPC STANDING COMMITTEE "It's a decision that comes after decades of exploration by the ruling Communist Party. If you look at the past two decades, having the three posts served by one person is not only effective, but also crucial, for the country's long-term stability, and an orderly power transition."

The Communist Party of China proposed the amendment last month. Lawmakers from across the country deliberated for nearly a week before voting on Sunday. In a panel discussion, Shanghai's Party Secretary Li Qiang said China doesn't have to keep comparing itself to the Western way of governance.

LI QIANG, NPC DEPUTY SHANGHAI COMMUNIST PARTY SECRETARY "China has been exploring its own path of development, which has proved to be successful. The country rose from a poorly industrialized country to the world's second-largest economy in just a few decades, largely because of the unique advantages of our political system. We are confident that the new Constitution will help deliver an even better future."

HAN PENG BEIJING "Among the 21 changes in the Constitution, 11 of them are focused on one issue: building a supervisory body."

Since President Xi Jinping took office in 2013, the country launched a nationwide anti-corruption campaign. The spokesperson for the amendments' drafting team says establishing a supervisory commission is a step closer to making the anti-corruption fight more institutionalized.

 ZHENG SHUNA, VICE DIRECTOR LEGAL AFFAIRS COMMISSION OF NPC STANDING COMMITTEE "The point of the reform is to integrate all resources in the fight against corruption. It will coordinate different government departments to prevent and punish those who are corrupt."

Following the approval of the Constitutional amendment, legislators will cast their vote on China's supervision law later this month. Han Peng, CGTN, Beijing.
