Critical Acclamation

'This is an excellent and up-to-date book that enables the English-speaking globe to get an accurate and comprehensive understanding of private international constabulary in mainland China. The Chinese system tin can be said to be a mixed organization, in that it is simply partially governed by statute and much of the law still emerges from case constabulary and interpretations of the law given by the Supreme People'southward Court. The authors bespeak out that only in very few cases do the Chinese courts actually utilize foreign constabulary. This tendency of the judges to avoid the application of strange law is i of several features of the Chinese arrangement of private international law that shows the importance of judicial decisions to agreement how the organization actually works. The writers rightly point out areas where Chinese private international police could be improved, with recommendations that China should liberalise its approach to recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments past adopting a de jure approach to reciprocity and by entering into multilateral treaties similar the Hague Choice of Court Agreements Convention 2005.'
