Book excerpt: In this book, which is an expansion of part of Dr Greenfield's earlier book China and the Law of the Sea, Air, and Environment, the author examines the current practice of the Government of the People's Republic of China in relation to the law of the sea, an area in which the CPR has latelybecome an active participant in the UN system. Concentrating on the Law of the Sea Convention which was signed by China this study also looks at recent efforts made by China to protect her offshore petroleum resources. Drawing on the much larger literature now available to foreign scholars, thisbook is set to become the definitive study of the subject.
