Is China a Substitute for the Common Law?

There is a very strong strand of argument that chinese are substituting legal reform for effective political reform. And i think that's going to be the point when china has to decide what its future ultimately is. Ad might suggest your using a rather british, sort of centric view of the world. I don't think that you can avoid the anglo centric nature of the industrial revolution. It just happened here first, and that's inescapable.
