China has made rapid developments in space technologies and space activities in the last few years, however, it still lags behind in the legal arena.

It contains rich information and materials of China’s space law and practice. As the first English monograph on national legislation on space law in China, this book shall contribute to the understanding of China’s current legal regime for space activities and future national space legislation.
