China Law & Policy
From their website:
China Law & Policy believes that an understanding of the development of the Chinese legal system is integral to an informed U.S. policy toward China. In China, where the legal system is often indistinguishable from the political system, which laws are effectively implemented is not necessarily determined by an independent legal system, but instead reflects the political priorities of the ruling Chinese Communist Party. U.S. policy needs to take this fact into consideration.
