2007년 6월 29일, 중국은 전국인민대표대회 상무위원회 제28차 회의에서 노동계약법을 통과시켰다. 동 법규는 2008년 1월 1일부터 시행된다. 새로운 노동제도는 중국 대내 외적으로 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 전망되고 있다. 중국의 새로운 노동제도는 중국 내에서 활동하고 있는 기업들뿐만 아니라 세계 경제에도 직접적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이미 중국내에서 활동하고 있는 기업들은 노동계약법의 본격 시행에 대비한 대응 방안 마련에 부심하고 있다. 중국 정부는 노동환경 개선의 필요성 때문에 노동계약법을 제정했으나, 이미 기존의 노동법 하에서 활동해온 기업들은 당분간 새로운 제도에 대한 적응에 적잖은 어려움을 겪을 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이번 중국의 신노동계약법은 기존 근로계약의 문제점을 개선하고 노사관계를 규범화하여 노동자들의 권익을 보호하기 위한 기본 지침임을 강조하고 있다. 그러므로 근로계약법을 전체 사회 관계를 재조정하는 법률 규범으로 보고, 중국 정무의 집행 의지와 적절한 실행조치를 시험하는 동시에, 기업이 인력자원과 노사관계관리가 장기적 발전에 도움이 된다는 점을 인식하고 일정한 사회책임의식을 갖도록 요구하고 있다. 이에 따라 노동계약법 실행은 노동비용 및 기준의 상승, 기업의 인력자원관리에 대한 자주성 침해, 노사관계의 경직화과 같은 문제점을 외자기업들은 지적하고 있지만, 또 한편으로는 이번 법안의 입법 성공에 대해 노동계약법이 근로조건 개선과 노사관계의 조화 발전을 그 목표로 한다는 데에는 동의를 표하고 있다. 이러한 상황 하에서 노동계약법이 본격 시행될 경우 인건비 상승, 노무관리 부담 증가가 예상됨에 따라 인력 의존도를 낮추는 방향으로 경영체제를 정비하고 신노동계약법 시행에 대비한 직원 채용 퇴직제도, 급여시스템 등 제반 노무관리 시스템의 재정비가 요구된다. 예를 들어, 고용 인력을 최소화하는 경영체제의 도입, 장기고용 상황에 대응하는 인사노무관리체제의 정비, 공회와의 협력적 관계 구축, 노동쟁의 리스크 관리 대책 등을 수립할 필요가 있을 것이다.

This study is designed to investigate the impact of China exchange rate policy on its trading partners by using a country multi-dataset GVAR model. Our model includes samples of 30 countries, six from high-income, six from middle-income and eighteen from low-income countries. This study used annual time series data over the period 1992 to 2017. We constructed currency misalignment index and it provided some interesting features about the currency undervaluation and overvaluation. The results of the currency misalignment shows that China's Renminbi is structurally more undervalued over the sample period as compared to other countries, and fluctuation in major currencies effects the global trade around the world. The overall empirical results of the GVAR model indicate that RMB undervaluation affects the trade pattern and macroeconomic performance of China's trading partners. Overall, China's exchange rate undervaluation has mixed effects on trading partner's GDP, exports and imports. The devaluation of China's RMB efficiently stimulated China's exports and reduced imports. While, in some countries, this effect is reverse, the RMB undervaluation increases the GDP of partner countries and also increases their exports to China. The results confirm the strong and leading role of the Chinese Renminbi in the global trade.

After more than 15 years of negotiations, China was finally able to achieve the WTO membership, opening up new trade opportunities for China as well as existing WTO members. China accepted a special safeguard mechanism as one of its WTO- plus commitments. And in response, Korea has since introduced China special safeguard rules, which in simple terms, allows an invocation of safeguard measures against Chinese product imports under more lapse conditions than would normally be allowed under the existing general safeguard rules. China also introduced new safeguard rules in November 2001 in an effort to increase transparency in its operation of safeguard measures. However, the current article contends that the new rules pose a serious threat to free trade in the form of the retaliation provision, which enables China to take unilateral retaliatory actions against safeguard measures on Chinese product imports, It indicates that the provision could be operated in an arbitrary manner as the US Super 301, and lead to infringements of WTO disciplines. This paper indicates that the foregoing elements could lead to mort trade disputes between Korea China regarding safeguard measures and subsequent retaliations on the hills of the so called the Garlic War. The current article goes on to offer policy recommendations toward deterring such disputes. First, it recommends a more active invocation of Korea's own retaliatory provision against China's unilateral actions at least to gain negotiating leverage. Second, it sites problems involving China's still conspicuous state-trading practices, and proposes to raise issues again China to induce more faithful implementation of WTO disciplines Final, it stresses the importance of preventing disputes before they arise, and suggests several specific preventive measures.

With the steady growth of our nation's economy, the purchase power of our domestic citizens has continuously enhanced. In recent years, online overseas shopping has rapidly warmed up, increasing number of Chinese people have started to purchase overseas products via internet. According to China's current legislation, the imported goods are divided into goods and items based on "profitability standard", and regulated by different rules of clearance supervision and import duties. Goods can't pass through custom and pay duties in the form of items, and the import duties burden of goods is generally much heavier than that of items. Goods of entrusted overseas shopping pass through custom and pay duties in the form of items, but goods of profitable purchasing are goods, not items. Therefore, the profitable-purchasing behavior is smuggling. Although goods of unprofitable purchasing are items, unprofitable-purchasing behavior may also constitute smuggling. The author concludes that causes of smuggling crime are: huge market demand for overseas goods, lack of customs supervision, law blank of petty foreign trade, and public's misconception of entrusted overseas purchasing are the major factors. The author proposes the corresponding preventive measures against the crime, such as to establish an one-stop service system in online Shopping Mall, to modify the Passengers' Baggage Declaration Form, to establish a relatively simplified clearance system of small cargo, to establish a relatively reasonable import duties of petty trade.

중국과의 무역거래가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 가운데 상사분쟁 발생 가능성도 커지고 있으며 사회주의 국가체제에 익숙하지 못한 한국 기업의 입장에서는 중국의 상사중재제도에 대한 연구는 필수불가결하다. 근래 중국은 국제표준과 시장경제에 맞추어 국내법규를 개정함으로써 외국기업들에게 법적 안정성 보장을 위한 지속적인 노력을 하고 있지만 여러 가지 문화적, 정치적, 사회적 특성으로 말미암아 법규의 내용에 한계점과 실무상의 문제점이 존재한다. 중국 상사중재제도는 국내중재와 국제중재 일부 구별 적용, 임시중재 불인정, 당사자자치의 제한, 중재기관의 독립성 부족, 중재에 대한 사법간여, 판정집행의 곤란 등 다른 국가와 차이점이 있다. 또한 중국의 중재기관에서는 중재절차 중에 판정부가 직접 조정을 진행하고 조정결과를 판정서로 작성하는 중재와 조정의 결합이 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같은 본 논문은 중국 상사중재제도의 법적 주요내용을 살펴봄으로써 중국 기업과의 상사분쟁해결에 대한 법적 실무적 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다.

중국은 WTO 회원국으로써 WTO 협정에서 정하고 있는 반덤핑 제도 관련 규범 및 기타 각종 규범들을 여타의 WTO 회원국과 마찬가지로 국내법과 제도운용에 있어서 WTO의 그것과 합치시켜 운용할 의무가 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 중국 정부의 반덤핑 법규는 덤핑마진의 산정, 경미수입물량에 대한 조사 종결기준, 일몰재심 등과 관련된 세부규정에 미흡함을 지적받고 있어 법적 불확실성을 초래하고 있다. 또한 가격약속과 관련된 규정들 중 일부 규정은 WTO 협정과 일치하지 않는다. 그러므로 우리정부는 단독 혹은 WTO 여타 회원국과 함께 중국 정부에게 반덤핑 법규를 WTO 관련 협정에 부합 되도록 개정해 줄 것 을 요구함과 동시에 중국 정부가 자의적으로 운용할 여지가 있는 모호한 규정들을 구체화시켜 줄 것 을 요구해야 한다. 이와는 별도로 우리나라는 중국이 반덤핑 제소를 개시하면 WTO 관련 협정과 차이가 나는 중국의 반덤핑 법규를 중국 당국이 어떻게 적용하는 지에 대해 면밀히 파악하여, 규정상의 모호성을 WTO 관련 협정의 내용과 부합되게 적용하는지 혹은 위배되는 적용을 하는지에 대하여 초점을 맞추어 그 대응책을 준비해야 한다.

China has recently (28 August 2004) adopted a new act legalizing the electronic signature. This new act provides electronic signatures with the same legal status as handwritten signatures, and states that on-line certification providers will have to be created in order to ensure the security of on-line operations made using said signatures. This new act is intended to increase Chinese electronic business, and thus to raise the revenue China can expect from said business. And the law grants electronic signatures the same legal effect as handwritten signatures and seals in business transactions, and sets up the market access system for online certification providers to ensure the security of e-commerce. As Internet trade requires a reliable third party to identify the signers, the credibility of online certifying organizations is significant for the transaction security. So, considering the weakness of China's social credibility system, the law regulates that the online signatures certification providers should be approved and administered by governments.

International factoring is very useful to transfer credit risk, to promote cash flow, to collect debt and to reduce cost and expenses. However, International factoring system in china shows imperfection especially in gap of legal vacuum and its limit to be developed. Here I suggest a practical alternative for development of International factoring system in china as follow. First, legal environment in China for factoring system should be rearranged. Even law and contract law have relative clauses for factoring system there are many difficulty to be applied. It is necessary to prepare legal ground for factoring system. Second, without recourse for International factoring system should be fixed. Without recourse is the essential point for factoring system in international trade. In fact chinese factors are partially applied only for those big global companies. However International factoring system is especially useful for small-medium companies lacked of a good credit rating. It is necessary to promote special factors by combining financial organizations as it does in developed countries. Third, they need to make legal ground to prohibit unlicensed factoring companies. Forth, they need to educate usefulness of factoring system. The settlement system in China is to be developed by systematic researches and promotion for International factoring system.
