It provides an account of China's version of "rule of law" under the Yifa Zhiguo paradigm, arguing that authorities see law as a tool to apply when convenient and ignore when it impedes Party-State goals. Moving beyond the question of whether China's system can count as a rule of law order, this book identifies three consistent features of Chinese law reform since the Opening and Reform era began: the supremacy of the Communist Party of China over the law, instrumentalism, and reform-repression dualism. This book uniquely combines the "what" with the "how" of China's "rule of law" efforts. China law researchers will benefit from understanding how China's young adults learn about official law narratives. A more general audience interested in China's legal and political system will gain valuable insights from the analysis of China's "rule of law." The growing tensions between China and the West mean that now, more than ever, scholars and policymakers need to properly understand China. Understanding what Chinese officials mean when they talk about the rule of law in China helps avoid policy errors made from mistakenly assuming that Western definitions are universal. The contents of this book can also inform government and university efforts to properly accommodate Chinese students in the West while mitigating harmful manifestations of the nationalist ideology, in part implanted by ideo-political education. 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aInternational law 606 $aComparative law 606 $aProperty 606 $aCommon law 606 $aPolitical science$xStudy and teaching 606 $aChina$xHistory 606 $aLaw 606 $aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law 606 $aCommon Property and Land Law 606 $aPolitical Education 606 $aHistory of China 606 $aFundamentals of Law 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aComparative law. 615 0$aProperty. 615 0$aCommon law. 615 0$aPolitical science$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aChina$xHistory. 615 0$aLaw. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law. 615 24$aCommon Property and Land Law. 615 24$aPolitical Education. 615 24$aHistory of China. 615 24$aFundamentals of Law. 676 $a340.9 700 $aHooper$b Michael$01770042 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910886067003321 996 $aChina Rule of Law and the West$94247179 997 $aUNINA
