Course Aims | ||||||||||
The
legal system of the People’s Republic of China is closely intertwined with the
Hong Kong legal system under the “one country-two system” constitutional
arrangement. This course examines the constitutional and institutional arrangements within China, its legal and
judicial institutions, state-individual
relationship, and the tights and liberties regime. The course comprises three
main components: constitutional law, administrative
law, and human rights law. The issues we will consider are: the fundamentality
of the People’s Congress System, the party-state structure, the meaning of ‘the
rule of law with Chinese characteristics’, judicial system and the role of the
judiciary, administrative reconsideration and administrative litigation, and
the protection of citizens’ rights, as well as the authority of Chinese constitutional institutions over the
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. | ||||||||||
