President Rhee of the KLRI explained the background of the academic conference, saying “Because of the US-China trade war, the Chinese government carries out legal system reform to improve the environment for foreign investors including strengthening intellectual property rights and expanding freedom for foreign investment. We should closely examine China’s legal changes that can have implications for Korean corporate strategy on trade and investment in China.”
