Features: Since this is a revised edition of the th edition, the book retains the original viewpoints, structure, and system of the first edition, with content largely unchanged. The main additions are new developments in international private law since the original publication. Particularly noteworthy are the developments in China's international private law theory and practice, which are reflected in the following aspects:
1. The book presents new theoretical explorations on the structure of conflict rules. In Chinese international private law literature, there are various descriptions of the structure of international private law norms, and many new terms have been coined, such as scope, connecting factor, applicable law, choice-of-law formula, and autonomous law, etc. Inspired by these discussions, the book strives to provide standardized definitions for each term, clarifying their connotations and extensions to ensure logical and practical scientific norms.
2. The book provides an in-depth discussion of the practical aspects of China's legislative and judicial systems in international private law.
3. The seventh chapter of the th edition is titled "Legal Conflicts Between Mainland China and Hong Kong."
4. Since the th edition, significant developments have occurred in international private law theory and practice globally. The Hague Conference on Private International Law has adopted many important treaties, and WTO legislation on intellectual property has garnered particular attention. The book fully acknowledges these international developments, especially the treaties and foreign legislative frameworks that influence the direction of international private law. Not only are these developments discussed in the text, but the appendix has also been expanded and refined to include relevant content.
