The People's Republic of China (PRC) began developing its present legal system in the late 1970's. The passage of the Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Law in 1979 was the first step by the Chinese government to build a legal structure governing foreign investment.

Since then China has continued to build a legal system that will protect their rights as well as the rights of their foreign partners. Here is a collection of legal resources relating to Law in the People's Republic of China (PRC).
