Contemporary Practice

On March 3,1997, President William J. Clinton transmitted to the Senate for its advice and consent to ratification as a treaty the Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Hong Kong for the Surrender of Fugitive Offenders, signed at Hong Kong on December 20,1996. In his letter of transmittal, President Clinton pointed out that, upon its entry into force, the Agreement would “enhance cooperation between the law enforcement communities of the United States and Hong Kong, and … provide a framework and basic protections for extraditions after the reversion of Hong Kong to the sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China on July 1, 1997.” The President continued: Given the absence of an extradition treaty with the People’s Republic of China, this Treaty would provide the means to continue an extradition relationship with Hong Kong after reversion and avoid a gap in law enforcement. It will thereby make a significant contribution to international law enforcement efforts.The provisions of this Agreement follow generally the form and content of extradition treaties recently concluded by the United States. In addition, the Agreement contains several provisions specially designed in light of the particular status of Hong Kong. The Agreement’s basic protections for fugitives are also made expressly applicable to fugitives surrendered by the two parties before the new treaty enters into force.

International Attention

The dispute that occurred in the North Natuna Sea has attracted international attention, including the superpower United States of America and the People's Republic of China and countries in the Southeast Asian region. This escalation of tensions occurred when the People's Republic of China built military bases in areas considered the nine dash lines that the PRC claims as part of their country. International law continues to fail to enforce the North Natuna Sea. It is clear that international law has so far tried - and failed - to contain China's advances in the North Natuna Sea. Existing confidence-building measures must match China's increasingly hegemonic claims. If not, the rules-based order will face continued erosion and smaller countries in Southeast Asia will suffer the consequences. This study uses a qualitative approach with socio-historical analysis to reveal past events, especially in the field of maritime law, which are unknown to the international community.

AbstractThe Chinese Communist Party was confronted with the pressing challenge of ‘reconstructing’ China's industrial economy when it came to power in 1949. Drawing on recently declassified Chinese Foreign Ministry archives, this article argues that the Party met this challenge by drawing on the expertise of Japanese technicians left behind in Northeast China at the end of the Second World War. Between 1949 and 1953, when they were eventually repatriated, thousands of Japanese technicians were used by the Chinese Communist Party to develop new technology and industrial techniques, train less skilled Chinese workers, and rebuild factories, mines, railways, and other industrial sites in the Northeast. These first four years of the People's Republic of China represent an important moment of both continuity and change in China's history. Like the Chinese Nationalist government before them, the Chinese Communist Party continued to draw on the technological and industrial legacy of the Japanese empire in Asia to rebuild China's war-torn economy. But this four-year period was also a moment of profound change. As the Cold War erupted in Asia, the Chinese Communist Party began a long-term reconceptualization of how national power was intimately connected to technology and industrial capability, and viewed Japanese technicians as a vital element in the transformation of China into a modern and powerful nation.

The decision by France and the People's Republic of China (PRC) to establish diplomatic relations in late January 1964 has undergone relatively little scrutiny among scholars. Garret Martin's path-breaking article in the Winter 2008 issue of the JCWS is the most important account to date of this episode, but it focuses on the French side of the story. The account here provides a much fuller picture by drawing on declassified records of the PRC Foreign Ministry, official collections of formerly secret CCP documents, and materials from archives in former Soviet-bloc countries. These sources help illuminate two important but hitherto unknown or poorly understood aspects of Sino-French recognition in the period from August 1963 to January 1964: the French and Chinese thinking behind the decision to recognize each other, and the negotiation process itself.

The paper attempts to investigate the issue of the protection of non-traditional trademarks in the People’s Republic of China that is ranked first in the number of registered trademarks in the world. The author analyzes the national legislation on the registration of trademarks that permits the registration of such types of non-traditional trademarks as sound, color combination and a three-dimensional designation, as well as judicial practice on appealing decisions of the National Trademark Office of China to refuse registration of three-dimensional, color and sound trademarks. The author determines the criteria for the protection of non-traditional trademarks, analyzes their application to each type of such marks. The paper highlights the main problems of registration of non-traditional trademarks in China. A conclusion is drawn about the need to improve legal, including international, regulation to stabilize and simplify the protection of non-traditional trademarks in the world.
