Chinese Law

The editors and contributors of this book have endeavoured to present Chinese law wherever possible from an angle accessible to those with a common law background, whilst necessarily retaining the use of Chinese legal terminology. The progressive globalization of business and the growing importance of China as an economic and political power make an understanding of the workings of Chinese law increasingly necessary for business people, lawyers, politicians and scholars.

A multiplicity of laws and regulations passed every year by governments at various levels make the study of Chinese law an increasingly complex task. The editors and contributors of this book have endeavoured to present Chinese law wherever possible from an angle accessible to those with a common law background, whilst necessarily retaining the use of Chinese legal terminology.

This book encompasses all of the most important aspects of Chinese law, and has a strong practical and case law emphasis and is edited by eminent academics at the City University of Hong Kong.
