BEIJING - The draft amendment to China's Administrative Supervision Law, submitted to China's legislature for its second reading Tuesday, strengthens protection of informants in an effort to encourage tip-offs on official corruption.

The draft amendment said those who reveal an informant's personal information or issues he or she reports would be punished according to law.

The Standing Committee of the 11th National People's Congress, or China's legislature, started its bimonthly session on Tuesday.
