The rapid developments of research and teaching of international law in China have

attracted the attention of international law academics of the world, who have looked

over the landscape of international law in China with great interest. Unfortunately,

existing literature has yet to completely satisfy their interests in this aspect. This article

is intended to compensate for this gap by introducing representative international

lawyers, publications, academic associations and research funding schemes on

international law in China. More concretely, this paper will show the mainstream

research sources of their Chinese counterparts as well as embrace teaching as part

of the research system of international law in China. It is expected that, with their

more attention into the holistic research methodology and the “One Belt, One Road”

strategy, the Chinese academia of international law will contribute more to the

international rule of law.
