Abstract

Just as economic reforms were beginning in 19789-1979 and China’s leaders announced that China was going to create a “socialist market economy,” a prominent Chjinese economist said.

“Market economy” should be “a bird in the cage” of the socialist economy.

Today, Chinese law reform reflects a mixed picture: The cage has grown since the onset of reform, but the law is still a bird inside of it.
