» The National People's Congress recently announced that China will seek to bridge the gap between death compensations for people from rural areas and those from cities, an disparity that has triggered contentious debate.
» In 2003, the Supreme Court ruled that disposable income per capita in a victim's place of residence should decide the amount of death compensation that victim's family can receive.  Differences in disposable income per capita vary widely between urban and rural areas.
» Wang Shengming, a member of the Legal Affairs Commission of the NPC Standing Committee, said that he supports a nationwide, uniform standard for death compensation, which would then be supplemented by factors like victims' age and income in deciding the final amount.
