Abstract
When I embarked on the study of Chinese law, culture, and politics in the late 1980s, China was a poor, predominantly agrarian country. At the time, few observers would have predicted how soon and how fast its economy would take off. Given the unfortunate geopolitics of scholarship, getting anyone other than a handful of specialists to pay attention to Chinese law back then was an uphill battle. Today, the political and intellectual scenes have been transformed. Chinese law has become a major topic on the pages of this Journal as well as many others. I am gratified that, a decade since its publication, my monograph Legal Orientalism: China, the United States and Modern Law continues to provoke debate on the topic of Chinese law, both in the Euro-American world of scholarship as well as in Asia, especially after the publication of its translation in the People’s Republic of China in 2016.1
