Summary "In decades past, in their analysis of the objective of post-Mao legal reform, Chinese and foreign observers generally agreed: the country was on its way to some form of the rule of law, or fazhi. Throughout the 1990s and the early 2000s, it even seemed that both sides shared broad agreement on the fundamental elements of this term. Legal education and the legal profession were given considerable support, legislative and judicial processes became increasingly professionalised, and rule of law-related concepts entered the meticulously curated jargon of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ideology. Yet by the second half of the Hu Jintao administration, the momentum of reform gradually changed direction. Hu's security czar, Zhou Yongkang, presided over the rapid expansion of a security apparatus (Wang & Minzner 2015). Formal litigation increasingly made way for non-judicial conflict resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration (Liebman 2011; Minzner 2013), manifested in a renewed attention to the 'Ma Xiwu' method of dispute settlement (Zang 2010; Liebman 2011)"-- Provided by publisher
