Chinese Legal and Political Research Websites
- China Law Blog
A great blog on Chinese business law managed by Harris & Moure, an international law firm for small businesses. Dan Harris has years of international legal experience, and Steve Dickinson has been living in China and working on Chinese legal issues for over twenty years. (disclosure: I worked for H&M this summer and continue to live for free in their apartment in Qingdao). - Chinese Law Prof Blog
The posterchild of Chinese legal blogs. Authored by Professor Clarke of GWU (and formerly UW), this site offers regular updates on Chinese law, as well as links to other research sites. - Law Info China
In both Chinese and English, this is a good site for researching individual laws. - China Law Digest
A good resource for Chinese legal and political developments. - Congressional-Executive Commission on China
