Walter Hutchens’ Blog

Here is the current draft of a brief article I am writing on China’s new Securities Investment Funds Law (证券投资基金法). I’d like to develop this into a law review article eventually. But initially it is just for a Hong Kong-based magazine primarily aimed at practicing lawyers. Comments on this draft are welcome (via email; Blogger does not have a comment system, and I’ve obviously never gotten around to installing a third party one on this site). I’m posting it in HTML, which does not alas handle superscript for footnote references well. I wanted to post a PDF file but realized I don’t have the distiller, and Adobe’s site is sluggish right now.

The magazine will publish a translation of the new law along with my article, but I have not yet seen their translation and do not know the whereabouts of any other English translation. The Chinese text of the new law here and many Chinese press stories about it are here.
