'The book analyses party autonomy in PRC law. It considers when the PRC courts will override parties' express choice of law in the social or public interest. It also discusses the likelihood (or not) of PRC courts allowing parties to stipulate non-state law (e.g., the lex mercatoria) as contractual governing law. As a bonus, it sets out the historical and philosophical underpinnings of party autonomy in China. The work is to be commended for its clarity and breadth.' Anselmo Reyes, The University of Hong Kong 'Private commercial relations with the People's Republic of China have grown significantly in recent years. Mechanisms for international dispute resolution are therefore important. Given differences in substantive law and uncertainty about a commercial partner's legal system, private agreements on the applicable law (party autonomy) become of central importance. Jieying Liang's work is a masterful and comprehensive study of the development of party autonomy and its present status under the 2010 Chinese Conflicts Statute, including limitations resulting from mandatory norms and the ability to choose non-state law. It is an indispensable resource.' Peter Hay, L. Q. C. Lamar Professor of Law Emory University, Atlanta
