Adopting a combination of theory and case studies, the course guides students to analyze and resolve practical problems through typical cases of cross-border trade disputes and transnational investment controversies, so as to cultivate rigorous legal logic and cross-border compliance thinking. Keeping pace with the latest developments in global trade, digital commerce and cross-border investment, it balances practicality and forward-looking vision to meet the compliance demands of modern international business activities.
This course consolidates students’ interdisciplinary foundation of law and business, improves their ability to identify and handle cross-border legal risks, and broadens their global vision and understanding of cross-cultural business rules. It lays a solid professional foundation for future careers in foreign trade, cross-border enterprise management, international legal practice and financial compliance, as well as for further academic study.
