You could certainly be forgiven for thinking that - the CCP still did most of the same stuff, it was just less blatant about it. Xi Jinping has been taking a slightly more 'robust' approach. China had a period of greater internati

From a jurisprudential point of view it's interesting to see how it evolved - the law in England moved out of the church and Xeer appears to have been born out of the reigning power in Somalia (elders) and remained therein. I'll t
