Summary/Abstract: On May 28th, 2020 it has been approved the long-time awaited Civil code of the People’s Republic of China which will enter into force on January 1st, 2021. The new China Code is the product of decades of work and it is the result of the interaction of ‘bourgeois’ and ‘socialist’ interpretation of the Roman law sources in the light of the multi-millennia Chinese culture. The new Code offers interesting cues to be taken into consideration for obtaining a sounder knowledge of the Chinese law as well as to reflect on structures and legal schemes ascribable to the Roman law tradition itself.
