Description
With China's emergence as a new economic superpower, and with ever-deepening business ties between Australia and China, it is crucial that students gain an up-to-date understanding of Chinese business law and an awareness of the major differences between Australian and Chinese legal and business cultures. This subject adopts a case-based, problem-solving approach to focus on the areas of:
- current legal system and legal/business culture of China
- Chinese investment law environment and how it differs from Australia
- corporate structures and the status of business corporations in China since China's accession to the World Trade Organization
- the legal environment for foreign entities doing business in and with China, potential risks and case studies
- China's WTO compliance and Australia–China Free Trade Agreement – case studies.
The subject is important for students wishing to understand the interactions between law, business, politics and culture in China today. Students develop practical and research skills that assist them in understanding the business environment in China in contrast to that of Australia.
