摘要
The conceptual foundation of the Uniform Contract Law (“UCL”) in China is different from that of the Uniform Contract Code (“UCC”) in the United States. The UCL is a substitute for the three contract laws governing different types of transactions. In contrast, the UCC is a model for the contract law of individual states. The official name of the UCL is the “Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China.” Here, I use the name UCL to distinguish it from the existing contract laws in China.
