civil law

China’s Civil Code governs much of everyday legal life, from contracts and property to debts, personal injury, privacy and inheritance. The articles here explain how these civil law rules apply to foreigners and foreign businesses in China, in plain English and with practical examples. They are useful for expats, overseas families and businesses facing a civil matter in China.
