Chinese Business And The Internet: The Infrastructure For Trust, Timothy L. Fort, Liu Junhai

To remedy this lack of trust, the Article proposes the nation seek a middle way between reforms guided by Western rule of law and Eastern rule of ethics, thus incorporating effective regulatory strategies and the philosophical resources already within the Chinese cultural consciousness. The …
