Research Topic
'Towards Constitutional Law of Peoples: China and Its Peripheral Societies'
Doctoral Research

This thesis addresses issues surrounding Chinese constitutional arrangement to Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. It contends that in light of the Chinese State’s constitutional accommodation of, and integration with, the peripheral societies of Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, a re-conceptualisation of Chinese constitutional law is on the verge of maturity, which, informed by realistic ideals, would be conductive to establishing a constitutional order of peace and stability that is embodied in a legal structure in which multiple societies, as self-governing people-s, could sustain healthy constitutional relationship and abstain from violent conflicts.
