About China Legal Insights

Alex Chen is an attorney at Hiways Law Offices in Shanghai. China Legal Insights is his publication about Chinese legal developments and their practical relevance to international businesses, legal professionals and individuals.

China Legal Insights aims to make Chinese legal developments easier to understand in an international context. Its intended readers include businesses working with China, lawyers advising on cross-border matters, and individuals with legal questions involving China.

The publication covers business and regulation, disputes and enforcement, and cross-border personal matters. Articles are published in English and Chinese, with English as the default website language.

How we approach legal updates

  1. Sources & dates

    Articles will identify relevant primary sources and their publication or effective dates, so readers can check the underlying materials.

  2. Context & interpretation

    We aim to explain what has changed, who may be affected and which practical questions deserve attention. Legal requirements and commentary will be distinguished.

  3. Two language versions

    Every published page and article will have English and Chinese versions. Where a source has no official translation, the original text remains the reference.
