Description
I. INTRODUCTION A general perception exists that constitutional review is not a part of modern Chinese jurisprudence. That view is mistaken. The aim of this essay is to show that, while substantial constitutional change has not yet been established, it is arguable that a unique Chinese brand of constitutionalism has taken root and is evolving. A classic understanding of the concept of judicial review is "a court's power to review the actions of other branches or levels of government," including a court's "power to invalidate legislative and executive actions as being unconstitutional."
