read it for a great overview
This is a one stop comprehensive resource to learn the current legal system in China. China is changing rapidly. Their legal infrastructure is just being assembled. It also gives a lot of historical background, which is indispensiable to understanding the legal system. How can a country that does not recognize personal property rights have intellectual property law? I recommend reading the book then going over to mainland China to check things out. Also law schools offer great summer courses in China now which add real life experience to your readings.

Very good
The book is very good to understand the evolution of the legal system of the PRC; it is a well-written historical explanation and is also quite objective.
Helped me a lot on my graduation thesis.
