[79] New CSRC rule on
avoidance
I've recently started following
(and recommend) the Wall Street Journal's China Real Time
Report blog. The other day it
reported on a new rule of avoidance promulgated by the China
Securities Regulatory Commission. Officials who leave the CSRC

(senior officials) or two years (others) (Chinese

Antimonopoly Law
Wentong Zheng of SUNY Buffalo Law School is doing a series of posts on China's Antimonopoly Law over at the Antitrust and Competition Policy Blog. Here's what he's done so far:
[77] A move toward formal
equality for rural residents
Two years ago I blogged about the gerrymandered National People's Congress ('gerrymandered' is not really the right word, but what's done is done) in which, by formal legislative design, there are four times as many delegates from urban areas as from rural areas relative to population. (I am deliberately not using terms such as 'representation', since that word assumes that the NPC is actually a representative body, an issue I don't want to get into here.) Although seeing this as a problem and fixing it won't make China a democracy, it seems to me to be a very important - and welcome - symbolic ste

His jailmates included such people as Huang Guangyu, the CEO of Gome who is now under investigation for various suspected crimes. We are not told why the writer was there, but all this, plus his description of the jail regime, make it pretty clear that this is not an account of a regular criminal sentence of reform through labor.

[73] Tsinghua China Law
Review: call for submissions
I have received the following announcement, which may be of interest to readers. (I confess I am puzzled by their claim to be 'the first law journal in China'.) (Oct. 20 update: I am informed that they meant to say, 'the first student-run law journal in China'.)
[72] Hubei regulations on the
privacy of minors
There has recently been a minor
tempest over regulations passed by the Hubei Provincial People's
Congress Standing Committee on July 31, 2009. The provincial

[70] Weiquan lawyers and the
state: recent developments
Apologies for the long hiatus following my last post. Things have been hectic.
I testified today before the Congressional-Executive Commission on China on recent developments in the relationship between weiquan (维权, 'rights-upholding') lawyers and the state. Here's my written testimony.
