Symposium on Taiwan

Preface
The editors of the Journal of Chinese Law are proud to present

the second issue of a two-issue symposium on legal developments con-
cerning Taiwan. Like the first issue, the contents of this issue fall into
four categories: the first category relates to legal aspects of Taiwan's
international status and its foreign policy; the second concerns
reforms in the domestic public law of Taiwan with particular atten-
tion accorded to constitutional law and judicial reform; the third
focuses on laws relating to domestic financial and economic activities;
and the fourth concerns legal issues, principles and regulations arising
out of the growing relationships between Taiwan and the Mainland.
Legal scholars and prominent lawyers from Taiwan, the People's
Republic of China, Hong Kong and the United States have contrib-
uted articles and comments to this two-issue symposium. It serves as
a legal guide to be followed when conducting activities in Taiwan and
between Taiwan and the PRC and is indispensable reading for schol-
ars, businessmen, and lawyers.

This symposium is made possible in part due to the generous
financial contribution of the Taiwan Area Studies Program of the
East Asian Institute, a program which is supported by a grant from
the Institute of International Relations of National Chengchi Univer-
sity of Taiwan. The editors of the Journal extend sincere gratitude for
this support.
