Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that my co-authored casebook ?Chinese Business Law? with Daniel Chow will be published by West

concentrated on investments in China.

a review of China's recent political history and the rise of its legal system. The chapter also highlights some of the current
issues in US -China relations. Chapter 2 introduces the various forms of foreign direct investments such as EJVs, CJVs and
WFOEs. Chapter 3 describes corporate reorganizations- mergers and acquisitions and anti-monopoly concerns. Chapter 4
focuses on labor and employment Issues faced by foreign companies. Chapter 5 discusses intellectual property laws including
patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets as well as issues that foreign licensors need to be aware of when licensing
