Public contracts and dual non-compliance
This article examines how public contracts operate within South-South relations through a case study of Chinese investment in Bolivia. By focusing on two examples — infrastructure and the lithium sector — and drawing on domestic and international legal sources, investigative reports, and stakeholder interviews, it finds that the behaviours of non-compliance present significant challenges. Contrary to studies that focus primarily on the buyer stat…
Legal Brokers of Chinese Investment in Cambodia
In conventional understandings of compliance, lawyers and compliance officers internalize compliance within corporations. Complicating this model, this article argues that compliance professionals may occupy a Janus‐faced role between informality and formality. We use the case of “legal brokers” of Chinese investment in Cambodia as our empirical testing ground. Based on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Cambodia from 2019 to 2022, we find that l…
Compliance in China
Much of scholarly writing on compliance is derived from the experiences of Western multi‐national corporations operating in developed economies. This introduction to the special issue “China in Compliance” departs from such convention by asking how compliance works in China. By broadening the scope of compliance studies to include non‐Western contexts, including China and its relationship to the “Global South” and nondemocratic settings, the spec…
Civilisation on Pause – Introduction to special issue ‘China's Global Capital and the Coronavirus
Pandemics have a history of interrupting civilisations. From the Greeks and Romans to the British Empire, pandemics have eroded political authority and caused economic instability. The twenty-first century has been hailed as the ‘Asian century’, with China's ascent as central to a reconfiguration of global capital and power. The COVID-19 pandemic, that began in 2019 and still rages as of this writing, started in China and was exacerbated by initi…
Foreign Policy Implications for China’s “Foreign-Related ‘Rule of Law’”
Mapping the Cosmopolitan Legal Imaginary
In recent years, China has led a not-so-silent revolution in internationalizing its dispute resolution mechanisms, including its courts, arbitration commissions, and mediation bodies, in order to facilitate cross-border investment and trade. These advancements are startling, considering that, merely fifty years ago, China suffered from a kind of legal nihilism. As late as the 1970s, people’s courts in China were either dismantled or hyper-politic…
A Brief History of Pakistan–China Legal Relations
Experimenting with International Commercial Dispute Resolution
In this essay, we describe the overlapping phenomena of new legal hubs (NLHs), international commercial courts, and arbitral courts. We survey their impact on the law and geopolitics of international commercial dispute resolution, identifying key issues these new dispute resolution institutions raise. While the rise of international commercial courts spans authoritarian and liberal states, Western and Asian states, common law and civil law tradit…

Law and Development Minus Legal Transplants
Legal transplants are broadly recognized as one of the main mechanisms by which donor states influence the legal development of recipient states. The experience of China, however, challenges convention. While, in recent years, China has been one of the largest capital-exporting countries in the world and has mobilized law to protect its investment in high-risk recipient states, legal transplants have, to date, not played a major role in China's a…
Introduction to the Symposium on Legal Dimensions of Chinese Globalization
China has emerged as a champion of economic globalization, particularly through building global supply chains, financing overseas infrastructure and energy projects, and exporting labour to developing countries throughout the world. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), announced in 2013, is a keystone in China’s economic globalization. The BRI emphasizes connectivity: policy, infrastructure, trade, financial, and ‘people-to-people’. Despite the br…
Anticorruption as Transnational Law
Corruption has been linked to urgent transnational problems, including, inter alia, market uncertainties, the undermining of democracy, economic disparity, religious extremism, and authoritarianism. As corruption is a global problem, it requires coordination across states' anticorruption laws. Anticorruption thus provides grounds to reassess the promise and limits of transnational law. This Article examines the operation of anticorruption as tran…
The Traveling Waqf
For most of their millennial history in China, Muslims have established pious endowments called waqf s that served a variety of functions, including providing land to build mosques. The founding of waqf s radically changed in 1949, when the Communists confiscated land. Recently, a Hui who was performing the hajj in Saudi Arabia discovered a pre-Communist waqfiyya or document that established a waqf in Gansu Province in northwest China. The contem…
Shariʿa as Taboo of Modern Law
Why is shariʿa the taboo of modern law? This article examines the “spread of halal” controversy in China as a window to assess how nativist public opinion influences state law and policy whereas state law is foreclosed to providing protection to rights provided for in shariʿa. Among Chinese Muslims (Hui), qingzhen (lit. “pure” plus “true”) or “halal” is the kernel of their localized shariʿa, and one that prohibits consuming pork. The symbol qingz…
China and Islam
China and Islam examines the intersection of two critical issues of the contemporary world: Islamic revival and an assertive China, questioning the assumption that Islamic law is incompatible with state law. It finds that both Hui and the Party-State invoke, interpret, and make arguments based on Islamic law, a minjian (unofficial) law in China, to pursue their respective visions of 'the good'. Based on fieldwork in Linxia, 'China's Little Mecca'…
Sharia, charity, andminjianautonomy in Muslim China
In Marcel Mauss's analysis, the gift exists in the context of a homogenous system of values. But in fact, different types of normative systems can inhabit the same social field. This is the case among Hui, the largest Muslim minority group in China, for whom the "freedom" of the gift resides in the giver's capacity to follow the rules underlying gifting, in this case, the rules of sharia. I call this capacity "minjian (unofficial, popular) autono…
Muslim Mandarins in Chinese Courts
Many sociolegal studies have investigated the relationship between state law and informal law, examining alternative dispute resolution and popular justice as intersections between such types of law. However, such questions have received little attention in East Asian authoritarian states. I use the case of dispute resolution among Chinese Muslim minorities (the Hui) to reexamine the relationship between state law and Islamic law. Based on ninete…

Property rights, legal consciousness and the new media in China
Despite recent legislation and regulations to protect homeowners' rights in the process of urbanization, forced eviction remains one of the most prevalent causes of violence in contemporary China. This article examines the capacity of residents of Chinese cities to protect their property rights using new media to produce alternative discourses on law in the urbanization process. Fieldwork conducted in Beijing from 2007 to 2008, a period during wh…
