Along with the pace of construction of a socialist society with Chinese characteristics, a pattern of multi-interest has emerged in China, with conflicts of interest in the real life. And the conflict is intensified from time to time. Making efforts to build a society ruled by the laws is the best way to solve social conflicts over interest; the rule of law is the core element of the socialist law, a well-balanced law can not only regulate the social order, but also reduce social conflicts at source, while the legislative process is essentially a process in which interest articulation and interest integration are realized by various stakeholders.
