Summary
China’s contract law is examined to determine if there are legal ambiguities with regard to formation, performance, and modification of smart contracts and the problems relating to the enforcement, remedies, and dispute resolution. It is important to Chinese law not to act prematurely to change existing legal frameworks in response to a still evolving technology (blockchain-based smart contracts). On the other hand, the regulatory framework for platform operators needs be adjusted carefully to incentivize them to diligently check and verify the information of vendors who conduct business on the platform.
