CHINA BUSINESS NETWORK PRESENTS



Shifts in CCP Political, Economic and Legal Policy
with Steve Dickinson, of Harris & Moure, PLLC

Steve Dickinson heads the China Law practice of Harris & Moure, PLLC. He will talk about the fundamental shifts in CCP political, economic and legal policy following the 5th plenary session of the 10th National People's Congress in March. Particular attention will be paid to the implications of the new Property Law (including its impact in rural China) and Unified Corporate Income Tax Law, which would tax foreign and domestic corporations at the same rate.

Steve, who was a CBN guest speaker in June 2005, began his studies of Chinese language and culture in 1975 and is fluent in both spoken and written Chinese. During the mid 90's he was the director of the University of Washington Law School's program for training Chinese legal professionals. As an Associate Professor of Law, he also taught an innovative program on cross border contract negotiation and did extensive research in the practical application of intellectual property law in China. Steve was the first attorney invited to teach in China by an independent Chinese Bar Association. He continues to lecture frequently in China regarding international law issues.
