Features: The implementation of "one country, two systems" has led to an unprecedentedly complex situation in China, characterized by "one country, two systems, and four legal jurisdictions." Interregional legal conflicts have become a practical and pressing issue that needs to be addressed. Interregional judicial assistance is one of the effective means to resolve such conflicts. This book delves deeply into the topic of interregional judicial assistance in China under the "one country, two systems" framework, covering major issues in both civil and criminal interregional judicial assistance. These include conflicts and coordination of jurisdiction in civil cases, the extraterritorial service of civil judicial documents and extraterritorial evidence collection, the mutual recognition and enforcement of interregional civil judgments and arbitration awards, conflicts and coordination of criminal jurisdiction, interregional cooperation in transferring fugitives, and other forms of criminal judicial cooperation. Using a comparative law approach, the book systematically and thoroughly explores both theoretical and practical aspects, aiming to establish a unique theoretical framework. The book is well-documented and reflects the latest legislative and practical developments in this field. It can serve as supplementary material for teaching and research in private international law, as well as a reference for legislative and practical departments.
