AbstractCurrently there seems to be an increasing interest in and demand for China's mediation in resolving conflict. To a certain extent, such a phenomenon is associated with China's re‐emerging power. But more importantly, it is probably the style and skills of China's mediation that matters, which represents the emerging of a unique mediation culture, with China being its messenger. The paper examines key elements of such a mediation culture, using examples of China's mediation in regional and international affairs. The shaping of such a culture offers good lessons for mediators around the world who strive for effective conflict resolution.

After the cold war, the trends of legal globalization became more and more obvious. People'sRepublic of China (PRC) began its connection with the international community and theglobal market, and its legal reform after the launch of the "reform and opening-up" policy.By examining China's labor law reform, we can see how legal globalization has influencedChina's legal system. China introduced and transplanted many institutions, terms of ILOconventions during its labor law reform. It also accepted many principles and conceptions ofILO conventions in its labor law and constitutional law, which would shape China's laborlaw reform. Multinational corporations (MNC) and transnational civil society organizations(TCSO) influenced Chinese labor law reform through lobbying, advocacy, public education,and litigations. Informal norms such as Corporate Social Responsibility standards developed byMNCs and TSCOs also inspired Chinese legislators to improve China's labor law and ChineseSCOs or business associations to develop labor standards to fill the gaps in China's labor lawand regulations. In conclusion, in the age of legal globalization, the labor law reform in Chinais a kind of legal transplantation. International norms, actions by multinational corporationsand transnational civil society, and their informal norms together constitute the force whichpromotes the transplantation and the reform of China's legal system.
