Abstract
Examines the emergence and growth of China's consumer protection regime. Reviews the position prior to 1993, key features of the Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law 1993, its initial shortcomings, and the rationale for the amendments made in 2013. Considers the extent to which the amended Law accords with international standards yet retains distinct national characteristics, and whether its development represents evolution or revolution.
