"Based on the Judicial Transparency Index Assessment (2019 and 2020) conducted in China by the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, this book summarizes and analyzes the current situation of judicial openness in China, using a sample of 218 courts across the country for the study. The book analyzes the ideological and institutional origins of judicial openness and examines the operation of judicial openness through the practical experience of role replacement. By analyzing evaluation data in the fields of audit information disclosure, trial information disclosure, judicial enforcement data disclosure, and judicial reform data disclosure, the book points out that the current judicial disclosure has made significant progress, but there are still problems such as unclear disclosure standards, insufficient rigidity in disclosure requirements, and the scope of disclosure still needs to be expanded.

This book provides an important critique of mental health law and practice in China, with a focus on involuntary detention and treatment. The work explores China's mental health law reform regarding treatment decision-making in the new era of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It adopts a socio-legal approach, not only by undertaking a comprehensive desk-based analysis of the reforms introduced by China's Mental Health Law (MHL) but also examining its implementation based on evidence from practice. The book seeks to investigate whether China's first national MHL takes a step closer to the requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on mental health treatment decision-making, and, if not, why not? The book will be of interest to those working in the areas of mental health law and policy, medical law and disability, human rights law, and Asian Studies.

"China's staggering economic growth in the last 40 years is one of the most fascinating and important stories of social change in recent world history. Social scientists from around the globe have produced vast literatures to explore the story's countless dimensions. Invariably, the government's actions lie at the center of the narratives that emerge. The Chinese state nurtured the early growth of private entrepreneurship in township and village enterprises. It made dazzling investments in infrastructure projects and is responsible for a model of investment-led economic growth that dominates to the present day. It has tried, although with various degrees of success, to either build or revamp gigantic systems of public education and public health, of old-age, medical, and unemployment insurance, and of poverty assistance. China has, of course, also expanded its military power and foreign operations. To do all these and many other things, the Chinese government has had to accumulate and deploy vast amounts of social resources. Certainly, it has done so partly by exercising control over the nation's banking sector, manipulating its capital markets, and owning large quantities of productive assets through state-owned enterprises. Yet these forms of state ownership and state control are dwarfed by the government's most important access to social resources: the power of taxation"-- Provided by publisher.

On subjects ranging from trade to democratization, there has lately been a wave of laments about China's development belying Western expectations. Yet these disappointments often come with misunderstandings of the very institutions that China was expected to adopt. Chinese taxation offers a sharp illustration. When China introduced a tax system suited for the market economy, it fully intended tax collection to rely on self-assessment, audits, and the rule of law. But this Western approach was quickly jettisoned in favour of one that emphasized monitoring of taxpayers and ex ante interventions, at the expense of deterrence and truthful reporting norms. The Chinese approach surprisingly matches recommendations made by recent economic scholarship on tax compliance and state capacity. China's massive but little-known explorations in taxation highlight the distinct types of modern state capacity, and raise challenging questions about the future of taxation and the superiority of institutions based on rule of law.

The book examines the extent to which Chinese cyber and network security laws and policies act as a constraint on the emergence of Chinese entrepreneurialism and innovation. Specifically, how the contradictions and tensions between data localisation laws (as part of Network Sovereignty policies) affect innovation in artificial intelligence (AI). The book surveys the globalised R&D networks, and how the increasing use of open-source platforms by leading Chinese AI firms during 2017-2020, exacerbated the apparent contradiction between Network Sovereignty and Chinese innovation. The drafting of the Cyber Security Law did not anticipate the changing nature of globalised AI innovation. It is argued that the deliberate deployment of what the book refers to as 'fuzzy logic' in drafting the Cyber Security Law allowed regulators to subsequently interpret key terms regarding data in that Law in a fluid and flexible fashion to benefit Chinese innovation.
