Editor's Note

I am pleased for the Journal to offer in this edition eleven interesting perspectives on the Third Amendment to the Chinese Copyright Law. This is a unique resource for our readers, and indeed the copyright bar. For most, it is difficult to study Chinese law, let alone write about it effectively. Yet, in this edition, the Journal is lucky to have eleven authors with extensive expertise about Chinese law and Chinese copyright.

I wish I could take credit for arranging this, but I cannot. Credit for the symposium must go to Professor Peter Yu, a member of the Journal’s Board of Editors. He is also the Regents Professor of Law and Communication and the Director of the Center for Law and Intellectual Property at Texas A&M University School of Law.

As many of our readers know, Peter has published often about Chinese copyright law, and he is the one who conceived of the symposium, contacted and assembled its authors, and helped edit the articles as they came in. His preface to the symposium offers an overarching theme for the topics covered.

Anyone who has ever organized a symposium knows how much work
this involves, and this one is no exception. I think there are very few people who have the combination of expertise and linguistic skills that Peter so generously used on behalf of the Journal.

As always, I welcome comments from our readers.
