China Lexicon is a unique bilingual guidebook covering the complex issues that arise when translating legal terms and definitions from English into Chinese and vice versa. It brings together fully updated and re-edited versions of the popular Lexicon columns published in China Business Law Journal. The author, Andrew Godwin, is a former partner and chief representative of Linklaters in Shanghai.

Fascinating, enlightening and absolutely unique. I’m sure this book will be a permanent fixture on the desks of everyone with a professional or academic interest in law and business in China.
