Summary

• This book examines the role of law in the regulation of China's foreign economic relations. It opens with an introduction that analyzes the context for China's foreign economic law system. Then in separate chapters the book addresses the issues of foreign trade, foreign investment, technology transfer, finance (taxation and foreign exchange), and dispute resolution. Each chapter provides a description of the legal regime, and an analysis of its performance and prospects.
• In the conclusion Professor Potter offers a range of proposals for policy reform in each of the subject areas, as well as ideas for systemic reforms. Through its review of current conditions of regulation of foreign business in China and its discussion of proposals for reform, the book provides information invaluable for practitioners and policymakers alike.
