‘This book provides not only a concise description of the various aspects of Chinese conflict of law in civil and commercial law, but also a pragmatic perspective on the law in practice in the Chinese courts. The authors take a critical approach in explaining the law in its social and economic context, and explore constructive approaches where there are gaps or problems in the law. . . . It is noteworthy that in discussing the problems associated with parties' choice of forum, the authors predicted that China would sign the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements, an outcome that came to pass when China became the second Asian country to sign the Convention in September 2017. Much thought has also been put into the presentation of references to materials published in the Chinese language. . .
