Chinese labour law with the tide of the market economy and the globalization. Systematic analysis of the today's Chinese labour law

由于市场经济和全球化的引入，中国劳动法得到了迅速发展。本研究的目的是对中国劳动法进行系统、全面的总体分析。这将通过中日学者之间的讨论来实现。因此，我们认为这本由中日学者共同合作的关于中国劳动法的书应该出版。从经济上讲，中日关系是高度相互依赖的关系。但是，在法律领域的交流仍然不足，特别是在劳工法方面。由于劳动法在1995年才刚刚实施，研究，特别是联合研究项目很少。本研究的目的在于建立日本与中国之间强有力的合作关系，并进一步通过在劳动法上达成共识来促进社会和经济的发展。此外，在研究期间，中国劳动法也有了新的发展。特别是《劳动合同法》的内容已经公开，并将很快制定。该法案准确地描述了当前中国劳动法的发展趋势，将为我们的研究提供有益的文献。特别是，学界举行了一个论坛，讨论在日本实施类似法案的可能性。在这次论坛之后，提交了一份报告，其中提出了执行该法案的建议。这使得我们的比较法学研究在探讨劳动合同立法问题上，显得十分及时。我们的研究包括每两个月举行一次研讨会和每年两次在中国的实践研究。在整理我们的成果后，我们在日本和中国作为一个整体讨论了这本书的内容和格式。到目前为止，这本书的一半以上都是在中国学者的帮助下完成的。

Chinese labour law has rapidly developed due to the introduction of the market economy and globalization. The aim of this research is to analyze, in general terms, Chinese labour law in a systematical and comprehensive way. This will be achieved by discussion amongst Japanese and Chinese scholars. As a result, we believe that the book on Chinese labour law, which is a joint collaboration between Japanese and Chinese scholars, should be published.Economically speaking, the relationship between China and Japan is one of heavy mutual dependence. However, exchange in the legal field is still inadequate, especially with regards to labour laws. Due to the labour law having only recently been implemented in 1995, research, specifically joint research projects have been minimal. The purpose of this research is to build a strong cooperative relationship between Japan and China, and furthermore contribute both socially and economically by reaching a common consensus on labour law.Moreover, during the research period, recent developments have been made to the Chinese labour law. In particular, the contents of Employment Contracts Act has been made public and will soon be enacted. This Act which has accurately described current trends in Chinese labour law will be a useful document for our research. In particular, there has been a forum by academics discussion on the possibility of implementation of a similar act in Japan. Following this forum, a report has been submitted with recommendations that this act should be implemented. This has made our comparative legal research a timely one, in terms of discussion, on legislation of Employment contracts.Our research involves seminars held once every two months and practical research in China twice every year. After collating our results, we discussed the content and the format of the book as a whole both in Japan and China. To date, over half of the book has been written thanks to the help of fellow Chinese scholars.
