 | Lecture: Reform in China and the route of judicial development – discussion on Property Rights Law (1st, April 2006)
Despite the rapid development of the legal system of our country in the past 20 years, it is observed that interference to freedom of speech and publishing still exists, resulting in abuse of the interest of the public during land requisition, demolition and relocation of buildings, and reform of corporate governance. How far is China away from being a society of rule of law? What are the underlying difficulties in the reform and development of the Chinese legal system? The history of drafting of “Property Law” can be traced back to ten years ago. However, the draft by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee was not put into the agenda of the Forth Meeting of the Tenth National People’s Congress.
The Asia Pacific Law Association (APLA) invited Professor Jiang Ping to share his experience in legislation and to discuss the summarized content and the gist of “Property Law” with participants in the conference. Professor Jiang Ping had served an the president of the University of Politics and Law, a member of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee, the Vice-director of Legal Committee and the chief draftsman of the “Civil Code of the People's Republic of China”, “Contract Law”, “Company Law” and “Property Law”. Professor Jiang Ping is also the Honorary Chairman of the Asia Pacific Law Association.
