PRC Tort Law Expands Rights and Punishments, Aiming to Protect Citizens
The PRC Tort Law of China 2010 expands protections for people's rights and introduces new concepts like product recalls and punitive damages for faulty products. It also holds guardians responsible for the actions of those who can't fully understand their actions. The law strengthens rules on environmental pollution and dangerous activities. While these changes are positive, limitations exist due to the lack of an independent judiciary and the government's stance on sensitive legal cases.
