21 APLPJ [i] (2019-2020)

handle is hein.journals/aplpj21 and id is 1 raw text is: Editor's Note The editors of the Asian-Pacific Law and Policy Journal (APLPJ) proudly present our Fall 2019 Issue: Volume 21, Issue 1. This Issue features two Articles and two student Comments, encompassing a variety of topics that are relevant to our readers in Asia, Oceania, and beyond.

The second Article we present is: New Rural Cooperative Finance in China: The Problem and Its Solution, by Dr. Michael Zhiyong Zhong, Professor of Law at Chonqing Technology and Business University. Dr. Zhong's Article discusses the evolution of Chinese banking laws, with a special focus on rural development. Zhong's research demonstrates that despite recent policy changes, national and local regulations remain insufficient in stimulating investment in underdeveloped communities throughout China. The first student Comment we present is: A Legal Framework for Traditional Rights and Conservation: Yap as a Case Study, by James Daugherty, a J.D. candidate from our very
