The purpose of the course is to enable students to “leave” their own legal system and legal thinking and do deal with legal questions in the context of another legal system.

The aim of the course is to provide the students with knowledge about Chnese legal thinking afd to the organisation of some central legal institutions. The course aims to give the students skills to discuss and analyse questions in connection with the Chinese legal system. The skills trained in the course shall give the students competences to deal with legal questions in a cross border and international context.

By adding a foreign (Chinese) perspective to legal issues, the course builds further on courses in different areas of law, but mainly on courses within private law.

The course gives an overview on central principles of Chinese law and the major areas of law, with a special focus on private law, the regulation of business activities and the establishment of companies.
