This book brings a general conception towards copyright in China with a thorough study. As well as providing the necessary context for under standing the law, the author worked systematically through the essentialelements of copyright law. A particular attention has been given to the difficulties of conceptualizing liabilityfor infringement of copyright and of relating that crucial, practical aspect of copyright law to the general principles of liability in Chinese law. With the urgency given to compliance by China's international obligations, it is doubtless that readers will find the book both interesting and valuable for an understanding of current Chinese copyright law and its development.
