‘Socialist but also Romanist, Chinese property law presents an intriguing mixture of legal traditions. To this important and complex body of law Professor Lei Chen offers a lucid and authoritative guide which will be of value to comparative lawyers or to anyone with an interest in Chinese law.’
Kenneth Reid - Emeritus Professor of Scots Law, University of Edinburgh
‘Professor Lei Chen has written the authoritative guide to property law in China. This masterful work goes well beyond a comprehensive account of current doctrine and property institutions to portray how the fundamental concept of property has changed in contemporary China to reflect economic reforms and rapid urbanization. This book is a must-read for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers.’
Amnon Lehavi - Provost and Professor of Law, Reichman University, Israel
