Features: The 16th National Congress Report of the Communist Party of China proposed the governance strategy of "combining the rule of law with the rule of virtue," which is a highly wise decision. However, in domestic theoretical research and practical implementation, the "law" in the rule of law is often interpreted as "domestic law," thereby overlooking the role of international law in the rule of law. This has severely impacted our progress toward becoming a law-based country. Because domestic law and international law are like the two wheels of a bicycle—without one, the bicycle cannot function, and without one, we cannot become a law-based country. As an important component of international law, conflict law holds a pivotal position in the rule of law. In-depth and detailed research on conflict law and its emerging issues in development is not only a theoretical necessity but also a practical necessity, and it is essential for China's rule of law. This book includes two parts: "Principles of Conflict Law" (Part 1) and "Principles of Evidence Conflict Law" (Part 2). In Part 1, the author references and builds upon some viewpoints from the works he edited, such as "Introduction to Private International Law" and "Private International Procedure Law," while also introducing many in-depth, refined, and new developments. Part 2, "Principles of Evidence Conflict Law," represents the author's second major innovation in expanding beyond the traditional scope of conflict law, reflecting years of research insights. Of course, this work on conflict law and evidence conflict law is just a drop in the bucket. The author sincerely hopes that more experts, scholars, professors, and theorists will become more engaged and focused on conflict law research, achieving greater results to contribute more significantly to making China a globally recognized law-based country as soon as possible.
