Description

Contracts for the International Sale of Goods in China focuses on China’s contract and sales law which is important to the successful conduct of international trade by China based corporate entities and those who trade with them. The book is the first to examine, among other issues: • the relationships between the PRC Contract Law, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UPICC); • how the Chinese internal law reconciled and harmonized with international uniform law and principles; and • the barriers from traditional understandings of contract law in the PRC and the attitudes of the PRC jurists and legal practitioners towards international uniform sales law instruments. Contracts for the International Sale of Goods in China also predicts further development in the relevant areas of Chinese law and practice with equal measures of theoretical and practical depth. To complete this inimitable comparative reference on Chinese and international commercial law and practice, readers will find useful a collection of People’s Court cases and arbitral awards decided on the relevant areas of Chinese and international law on contracts for the international sale of goods.
