Are the regulations promulgated by the Information Office of China Municipal Government policies or regulations?
The regulations issued by the China Municipal Government Information Office should belong to policies, not regulations. Because laws and regulations have legal effect, they must be approved by the corresponding local or national people's congress before they can be implemented. Policies are some practical working methods or specific measures adopted by national government agencies or groups in order to realize their own interests and will. The government information office belongs to the government group, and its regulations are not eligible for approval by the National People's Congress, so it should be a policy.
