...principals leading the talks with Pyongyang, Washington and Beijing, are seemingly hamstrung. China is scrambling to find a new approach to its wayward client after being blindsided by the North's nuclear test on October 9, which was undertaken despite a specific request for restraint from Chinese President Hu Jintao. Fearful that putting pressure on the North's fragile economy could lead to an implosion that would send hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming into China's north east, Beijing has hardly any room to maneuver.

Still, over the past two decades, the law and the legal system have begun to take root. China's leaders, including President Hu Jintao, speak often of the importance of "administering the country according to law." The legal profession and legal education have mushroomed; China's government has enacted thousands of new laws; and major institutions like the legislatures and the courts have been strengthened and professionalized.
