Chinese Refugee Law

Guofu Liu

Chinese Refugee Law offers a comprehensive, up-to-date, and readily accessible reference to Chinese refugee law. It focuses first on existing laws and practices relating to refugees in China, then offering a scholar's proposal for a law to handle with refugee affairs and implement the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. It examines both existing Chinese statutes and relevant international documents, drawing on and comparing Chinese and English language sources.
