Summary |
"The modern Chinese law and legal system, though bearing strong resemblance to the civil law heritage, are in fact in an evolving stage without a definite model of tradition. After the fall of the last emperor in 1911, China experienced nearly forty years of warlord chaos, the anti- Japanese war, and then civil law".-- Provided by publisher |
