PRESENTATION

 
Whether the 21st century will be China's will largely depend on the country's ability to institute a legal system adapted to the needs of a modern, industrialised nation. If this will be acheived or not remains to be seen, but the determination of foreign business people to participate in this process is manifest. This comprehensive guide brings together practitioners and scholars from China and numerous other countries to create a unique work of compilation, analysis and assessment of the current state of Chinese business law.
 

Vital issues

With a focus on traditionally important subjects for international business professionals, such as the laws on trade with China, on direct investment and on the resolution of disputes, the book breaks ground with its inclusion of extensive material on the Chinese financial sector, covering:

- legal regimes relating to financial instruments

- money and capital markets

- insurance

- real estate

Real life perspective

Published at a crucial moment in the economic history of China, the publication is organised and presented to correspond with business people's actual experience in dealing with legal issues involving China.

During the initial exporting stage, business people are concerned to know the rules governing international trade with China

As their sales in China develop, foreign enterprises will seek to optimise their activilies in China by opening a permanent establishment

They then become subject to the Chinese legal regimes governing company and enterprise formation, investment approvals, real estate arrangements, employment of personnel, environmental protection and taxation

Once the foreign enterprise has developed a major presence in China, legal issues of treasury management and long-term financing on the financial markets appear on the company's agenda

The final chapter of the book treats the pervasive question of how disputes are resolved under Chinese law.
 

Clarity and explanation

Throughout the work, legal issues are placed in their business contexts, creating a basis for common understanding among lawyers and their business clients. The set of tables and illustrations helps to clarify complex institutional organisations and legal processes.
