One of the aims of the CLD project is to create a platform for knowledge exchange between and among young practitioners and scholars in China and host states on the topics of the legal and regulatory issues of Chinese outbound capital. Research Briefs, written by Research Associates and other members of the research team, provide snapshots of either preliminary or on-going research projects conducted on such issues. As such, they represent the cutting edge of scholarship on these concerns.
Opinions expressed therein represent the personal views of the authors and are not attributable to either their respective institutions or the University of Oxford.
