Requirements for the Assignment Outline:
Do some research first and find a research
topic and write a brief outline/structure of your assignment.
The outline should be 1-2 pages. It should include: the assignment title; the
structure/outline in dot points; indication what you intend to achieve in this
assignment.
A main reference list (about 5 items)
should be attached as a part of the outline.
Those references should be related to your topic and structure.
Requirements for the Final Assignment:
- This is an individual assignment.
- Suggested Research Topics for Chinese Commercial Law
- You can design your own research topic.
Suggested research areas: You can choose any of the following topics;
do some research; narrow down the topic; write down a rough structure and send
it to me for a quick check!
Australia and China will sign a historical
Free Trade Agreement (FTA) after the G20 Summit in Brisbane. Senator Bill Heffernan warned the FTA could
be “a disaster for the country without proper protections”. You can think about topics in the following
ways:
- How an Australia small business can benefit from a FTA – advantages/disadvantages of having a FTA.
- Do you think Australian farmers will benefit from a FTA? – exporting meat/dairy products/fruits/wheat under the FTA environment.
- Importation of children’s clothes/toys/electronics from China – will a FTA make the importation easier?
- How can the Australian service sectors (banking, legal, accounting, tourism and education) benefit from a FTA – will China relax its restrictions on market entry from Australian’s service sectors?
- Will Australian business suffer any detriment under a FTA due the unconvertible Chinese Yuan?
- Research and locate two (2) recent cases on infringement of foreign trademarks (/or copyrights /or patent) in China and discuss whether foreign IP rights have been protected under the relevant Chinese law.
- Does the Chinese Contract Law create a friendly legal environment for foreigners when doing business in China?
- A case study on setting up a joint venture (or a WFOE) in China – analyse some legal issues.
- “iPhone”, “Nintendo 3DS”, etc. are made in China by Chinese workers. Do you think the Chinese workers have benefitted from the foreign investment and the Chinese economic development?
- Discuss whether the Chinese labour laws effectively protect Chinese labours’ interests – you can locate some cases and discuss the differences between law and practice in this area.
- Your FDI projects in China are making great profit. How can you remit the Chinese currency back to your home country – rules and regulations on restrictions.
- The new developments in international commercial arbitration in China. (Alternatively, discuss whether a foreigner should resolve dispute by way of arbitration or litigation in China.)
Requirements:
- Identify one of the suggested topics (or areas).
- If you cannot find many articles (say less than 10 articles) in chosen area, please change to another topic at this stage.
- If you believe you have found a topic (area) and want to do your research in that area, please download 10 to 15 articles from those online sites.
- Read the articles and find out the issues (problems) you would like to discuss or analyse.
- You should NOT copy an existing outline from one big article or a book (I generally can tell).
- By now, your topic and outline should be much narrower than those suggested topics.
- Check with me before you start major writing.
- Write the research paper independently.
- Refer to the Unit Guide for proper referencing style and requirements.
