Technology Transfer In The People's Republic Of China: An Assessment, Stanley J. Marcuss, Arthur R. Watson
Technology Transfer In The People's Republic Of China: An Assessment, Stanley J. Marcuss, Arthur R. Watson
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
Perhaps the most striking aspect of the trading relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China is its explosive growth over the last fifteen years. In 1973, the total value of bilateral trade between the U.S. and China was $805 million (up from a mere $5 million just two years earlier). In 1987, this figure reached $10.4 billion - an increase of over 1000 per cent. This growth notwithstanding, the United States is not a commanding presence in the PRC's overall trade picture. The U.S. share of total PRC imports in 1986 (almost $43 billion) is only …

The Present Status Of The Southeast Asian Refugees Under The 1980 Refugee Act: A Call For Reform, Jan H. Klinek
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
The issue addressed here is whether the Southeast Asian refugee has been fairly dealt with under the Refugee Act of 1980. Part II examines the purposes behind the Refugee Act of 1980. It will show how congressional intent has been displaced by a concern for meeting political and social pressures. Part III and Part IV set forth discussion and recommendations urging the renovation of U.S. refugee policies in order to alleviate the bias prevalent in the existing system. In addition, this Note recognizes the need to balance international humanitarian principles and national limitations in order to develop, a means for …
Law For A World Community, John Quigley
Law For A World Community, John Quigley
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
Changes in international relations are creating a context for a new role for law. The exigencies of survival require solutions that can be achieved only at a supranational level. In the process, international law is being transformed from a law between and among states to a law that includes international organizations, individual persons, corporations, and other non-state groups. It is moving from a set of negative prohibitions that sought to keep states from injuring each other by acts of violence to a set of positive obligations to preserve and improve life for all. Law is shifting from being an interstate …

China's New Cooperative Joint Venture Law, Timothy A. Gelatt
China's New Cooperative Joint Venture Law, Timothy A. Gelatt
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
In the decade since the People's Republic of China (PRC) began opening its doors to foreign investment in the late 1970s, several vehicles have been developed through which foreign firms may invest in the PRC to undertake manufacturing or service projects. The first vehicle to be officially offered to foreigners as a means for investment was the "equity" joint venture (EJV), which was given its legislative basis in a brief 1979 statute, since supplemented by detailed implementing regulations and substantial other legislation. The EJV is a limited liability4 joint venture company formed by one or more Chinese enterprises with one …

Blood On North American Soil: A Comparison Of United States And Canadian Infectious Waste Disposal Regulations, Scott B. Goldie
Blood On North American Soil: A Comparison Of United States And Canadian Infectious Waste Disposal Regulations, Scott B. Goldie
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
It is the intent of this note to show that the United States federal government has failed to establish a clear national definition and standard for the handling of infectious waste, and that that failure is responsible for the confusion among state infectious waste policies. The federal approach taken by the United States will be compared with that of the Canadians, and both will be examined to determine the impact each has had on its nation, and the support each has given its state or provincial governments. By making these comparisons, this note will show the importance of a clear …

This note will conclude that if a practicable remedy can be enacted in Canada, then such a remedy could act as a blueprint for global implementation.
Germany's New Telecommincation Law, Arval A. Morris
Germany's New Telecommincation Law, Arval A. Morris
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
This article is a critical, comparative introduction to West Germany's new telecommunication law that suggests solutions to some of the problems the new law creates but does not address. Government regulations both at the national and international levels, however, often lag behind, are often sorely outdated, and frequently hamper attempts to modernize. When the regulations are current, they tend to be episodic, seemingly more designed to defuse existing trade crises than to anticipate and avoid them. However, constructive governmental regulation of telecommunications at the national level is stirring. It is beginning to look as though telecommunication at the national level …

The Evolving Chinese Enterprise, James V. Feinerman
The Evolving Chinese Enterprise, James V. Feinerman
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
If, indeed, Chinese enterprises are becoming the equivalent of Western corporations, then what does Chinese corporate law look like? Are there corresponding legal enactments which support the historic decentralization of China's industrial production and embrace of market mechanisms? Briefly, the answer is, "Yes, there are Chinese laws which embody many of these changes." Recent legislation detailing the newest powers of Chinese enterprises and factory managers is, in fact, merely the latest lawmaking in an area which has seen prodigious activity since 1978. This article will first attempt to analyze the stages of economic and legal reform which have resulted in …
