This special issue of the University of Pennsylvania Asian
Law Review builds on the journal's proud tradition of presenting
noteworthy articles addressing important aspects of law in
contemporary China, and reflects the evolution of English-language
scholarship on Chinese law during the fifteen years since this journal
began publication as the University of Pennsylvania East Asia Law
Review. This collection appears at a fraught and possibly pivotal time
for Chinese law and the context in which it operates. The authors in
this issue address and respond to aspects of the defining issues of this
critical moment.
China is the world's second-largest economy and on track to
become its largest, and it consistently ranks among the top handful of
participating states in international trade and investment.1 Chinese
laws and regulatory measures that shape-or respond to
developments affecting China's economy and China's economic
engagement with the outside world are, therefore, of global
significance. Some of the many salient examples of these phenomena
are addressed in the articles in this issue: Chinese investment in the
United States (addressed by Salil Mehra); the COVID-19 pandemic
t Jacques deLisle is the Stephen A. Cozen Professor of Law, Professor of Political
Science, and Director of the Center for the Study of Contemporary China at the
University of Pennsylvania.
