While much international attention has been focused on China's developing economy, dramatic changes are also taking place in its legal system. This book is a groundbreaking, comprehensive introduction to China's legal system, covering the major areas of both civil and criminal law.
The authors present fascinating cases and balanced accounts of controversial issues, from copyright law to punishment. Individual chapters tackle issues with major international significance, such as dispelling common misunderstandings of criminal procedure in China and placing China's human rights record in a broader comparative context.
By letting Chinese lawyers and judges speak for themselves, the author also allow readers a surprisingly candid insider's view of real life legal practice.
