Abstract
Serious debates on the universality of international law emerged in Communist China after 1957. These centered on a few interrelated questions: Is traditional international law bourgeois in origin and character? Is there a separate socialist international law? Is there one international law equally applicable to states of different ideologies? If so, what is it? The resurgence of Soviet interest after the 20th Party Congress, a landmark in the development of Soviet theory of international law, may have provoked the debates in mainland China. On the other hand, during the late 1950s mainland China manifested a belated interest in law as a whole, including international law, which somehow continued at least until the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution in 1966.
