'This book is remarkable as it combines three books in one: an insightful explanation of the current status of insolvency law and practice in the four independent jurisdictions of the region (the Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) from a Chinese perspective; a comparative analysis of the EU Insolvency Regulation and the Model Law; and a thoughtful and well-balanced proposal for an inter-regional cross-border insolvency regime that reflects the status of mutual trust between the regions. A perceptive study which will surely make a difference.' Prof. Dr. Stephan Madaus, The Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany 'If you would like to know about China's cross-border insolvency and inter-regional legal cooperation, this is a book I will recommend.' Judge Zhu Rui, People's Republic of China 'This work is a much needed treatise on cross-border insolvency in the Greater China region. Dr Gong deserves to be firmly congratulated for producing this important work which repays careful study and contributes significantly to cross-border insolvency learning in the region.'
