Zhao Leji, China's top legislator, on Monday called on his fellow legislators to thoroughly study and implement the guiding principles from the fourth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, which was held last week.

Zhao, who is a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, made the remarks at a meeting with NPC deputies who are sitting in on the ongoing session of the NPC Standing Committee.
