Review of the Principles of Proprietary Rights in the Legal System of the People’s Republic of China: Ukrainian Civilian’s Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the basic principles of property law in Ukraine and the legal system of the PRC in the conditions of active reform of private law according to international standards. Based on the analysis of approaches prevailing in modem Chinese jurisprudence, there is proposed own view on the system of principles of property law. The changes that have taken place during all the years of China’s Independence, which addressed many fundamental issues, including the legal regulation of property, are analyzed. The article describes many principles, so it should be noted that not all of them are directly related to property and proprietary rights because the latter concerns the legal status of private law, but in no way means equality of all types and forms of ownership. The paper explains different approaches to property treatment determined by the influence of German law. In modern conditions, Chinese law can be attributed to continental law, but along with them, there are many features highlighting its specific nature: the availability of normative legal acts (especially laws, codes); the presence of traditional legal norms and religious and ethical values in some areas of public relations; fixation of philosophical and traditional concepts, principles in legal understanding, legal norms, and other elements of the legal system; dualism of the system (existence of legislation and traditional norms). Property law is associated with many other problems to be solved due to the rapid pace of economic growth, innovation policy in China, the virtualization of business. Therefore, there is the problem of recognizing virtual property, caused by the need to regulate the rights to information, domain names, websites, online databases, treasures and loans used in online games, and so on.
