The Chinese Legal System in Economic Matters.

From the Paper:

"Chinese Legal System
During the first half of this century, China had no formal legal system. In 1949, when the Communists took over the country under Mao Zedong, China imported many of the institutions of the socialist legal system that had been developed in the Soviet Union. During the Cultural Revolution of 1965 to 1975, the country completely abandoned any type of legal system and closed all law schools.1


In 1978, following Mao's death, the law schools were reopened. In 1976, China had a handful of practicing lawyers. Ten years later, there were 25,000 working lawyers in China.2 Legal reconstruction began after the Third People's Congress, which subsequently adopted a new Constitution. The Chinese Constitution states that it has supreme legal authority.3"
