新編中國法

Overview & Synopsis

Although the term “constitution” existed in ancient China, it did not carry the meaning of a modern constitution. In China, the modern significance of the constitution emerged through reformist movements and constitutional campaigns. Throughout history, China’s legal system has developed in accordance with its traditions and unique circumstances. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, with increasing exchanges between China and the international community at both official and grassroots levels, the legal system has continued to advance, and “governing the country according to law” has become the official guiding principle of governance. This book provides a detailed explanation of the recent developments in China’s legal system across various fields. It is divided into six sections—Constitutional and Administrative Law, Criminal Law, Civil and Commercial Law, Economic Law, Procedural Law, and International Law—aimed at deepening the public's understanding of Chinese law. Written by a group of scholars from Mainland China and Hong Kong who represent the highest academic and professional standards in their respective fields, this authoritative work reflects the complete picture of contemporary Chinese law.
