Yang made the comments after the announcement of a decrease in the birthrate last year, despite implementation in 2016 of a universal second-child policy that allows all couples in China to have two children.
Yan Shuang, deputy head of the publicity department of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, read a letter from Li Qiang, the Party secretary of Shanghai, at the ceremony.
Yang Weidong, a law professor at the Chinese Academy of Governance, said: "The protection of litigation rights is as important as the regulation of litigant's behavior. Otherwise, it will be harder to improve legal efficiency, given such rapid growth in the number of cases."
Yang was speaking after a news conference to announce the completion of a sea survival training session in Yantai, Shandong province, for 16 Chinese and two European astronauts. It was the first time foreign astronauts participated in spaceflight-related training in China, according to the space agency.
Yan said he expected a further rise in clean power output in the coming months when the country's electricity consumption braces for its seasonal peak, due to a potential increase in hydropower output during the flood season and a pick-up in wind and solar power development.
Yang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee, said his visit to Egypt aims to implement the important consensuses reached by the two countries' presidents.
