On 13 January, Prof. Lutz-Christian Wolff from the Faculty of Law talked on '35 Years of Chinese Foreign Investment Law—Facts, Trends and Stories' in his Inaugural Lecture of Wei Lun Professorship in Law, drawing a full house of over 300 participants.
Specializing in international and Chinese business law, comparative law, as well as private international law, Professor Wolff offered insightful observations on Chinese foreign investment law, and shared his interesting personal stories in China. He was of the view that 'China is a global mega-power with an economy that is inter-woven with the economies of many other countries'. However, he believed Chinese investment law will remain 'different' with the systems of other countries in the years to come.
