The country outlaws sexual harassment and domestic violence
When the People's Republic of China was set up in 1949, men and women were deemed to be equal under the law - Chairman Mao said that women "held up half the sky".
Now new legislation is aiming to secure the rights of women against sexual harassment at work and violence in the home.
