China started its economic reform and open door policy in 1978 and has since successfully attracted large amount of foreign investments. Owing to Hong Kong’s unique status and geography, lawyers in Hong Kong are well positioned to assist foreign parties who wish to invest in the Mainland and to offer advice to PRC parties who wish to invest outside China. As a result, knowledge of Chinese law and practice becomes increasingly important for Hong Kong lawyers.

CUHK LAW appreciates the importance of Chinese law on legal practice in Hong Kong. To cater for this need, the Faculty has introduced China Practice as an elective in the PCLL programme. This video features Prof. Dennis Hie who introduces the background and the course further.

Digital platforms have transformed our lives, and they play a crucial role in facilitating trade and global transactions. However, some of them have become too powerful and misused that power to wipe out competitors and harm consumers.

Prof. Sandra Marco Colino is studying how China’s competition law is being applied to the digital economy. Her research on the developments in China is comparative and hopes to contribute towards designing solid strategies to effectively deal with these issues worldwide.

Prof. Ryan Mitchell’s research on Chinese law bridges the areas of domestic and international public law, legal history, and comparative legal theory. His research aims to better understand the relationship between China’s unique legal development path and global changes in public law since the late 19^th century. In his monograph with Cambridge University Press, Recentering the World: China and the Transformation of International Law, Prof. Mitchell explores archival historical sources and secondary literature, aiming to bring back to life long-forgotten voices, arguments, and points of view. His next projects continue in this vein, connecting the macro-level historical themes with specific practices such as those related to economic sanctions and management of resources in the global commons.

Prof. Dicky Tsang’s major research area is private international law. First, it is out of necessity. Second, the Chinese private international law regime is still relatively young and many aspects of its private international law rules are still under development. Third, since private international law is important to the national interests of China, establishing a regime that is conducive to the future development of Chinese economy is a major challenge. Prof. Tsang is hopeful that his research can make contributions to China.

One of Prof. Chao Xi’s ongoing research projects examines empirically the question of how shareholders in Chinese listed companies exercise their rights to vote.

With significant funding support from the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong SAR, Prof. Xi’s project has helped to fill the important gap of the largely understudied and under-theorised research on how Chinese shareholders vote their shares, and to thereby significantly enhance our understanding of corporate governance both in China and more generally.

Globally, shareholders’ right to vote has become an increasingly important focus of academic work and an issue for policy-making at both international and regional levels. Prof. Xi’s project has helped to lay the groundwork for a major project of international collaboration involving leading experts covering as many as 19 jurisdictions around the world. The project has recently led to the publication of a Research Handbook with the Cambridge University Press.

Prof. Hao Zhang’s research focuses on the laws and regulations surrounding the energy transition and climate mitigation in China, compared with other jurisdictions. One of his ongoing research projects examines how the power market reform in China and the supporting mechanisms under China’s Renewable Energy Law have facilitated renewable energy integration. With funding support from the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong SAR, Prof. Zhang’s project has contributed to scholarly discussion on the regulatory governance of energy infrastructure and networks, as well as a collaborative project involving leading energy law scholars to comparatively examine the legal and regulatory pathways of the low-carbon energy transition in different jurisdictions. Based on this collaborative project, an edited volume titled ‘Handbook of Energy Law in the Low-Carbon Transition’ will be published this year.
