PREFACE
Tsinghua China Law Review Spring 2016 Issue aims to provide
our readers with a spectrum view on contemporary developments
and enduring questions in the research of Chinese law. The authors
contributing to this issue represent diverse academic and professional
backgrounds, sharing their fascination regarding the developments of
the legal system in China.
In The Making and the Structure of the 1982 Constitution of
China, Professor Zhai Zhiyong, an authoritative constitutional voice
from Beihang University School of Law, examines the 1982
Constitution from a historical perspective. His study of the interplay
between sovereign power and constitutionalism illuminates the
subtle differences between the principle of representation and
principle of leadership in Chinese constitutional law.
In Legal Implications of the Deepened Reform of Chinese
State-Owned Enterprises: What Can Be Expected from Recent
Reforms?, Che Luyao, a Ph.D. candidate from the University of
Nottingham, analyzes the trends of transformation of state-owned
enterprises (“SOEs”) following recent reforms and their possible
impact on China’s participation in the international economic legal
order. This timely research has been awarded with the Tsinghua
