According to the amendment to the criminal law, which was passed by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) on Saturday, those aged between 12 and 14, will bear criminal responsibility if they “commit intentional homicide, intentionally hurt another person so as to cause death, or severely injure others by resorting to especially cruel means”.
