    El 1 de enero de 2021 entró en vigor el Código civil de la República Popular de China. Nos encontramos ante un texto jurídico que marca el devenir de la historia de la codificación en este siglo XXI. Histórico no por la influencia que su técnica o redacción vaya a tener en otros países o territorios, o por la novedad que implica en el país asiático que, como veremos, es poca, sino por el momento en el que aprueba y por el número de personas a las que va dirigido. El primer Código civil de China fue el de 1929-1930, dividido en cinco Libros: Principios Generales, Derecho de obligaciones, Derecho de cosas, Familia y Sucesiones.

    El nuevo Código tiene una extensión total de 1260 artículos, estructurados en siete Libros y dos “Disposiciones suplementarias”.

    On January 1, 2021, the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China came into force. We are facing a legal text that marks the future of the history of codification in this 21st century. A historical Code not because of the influence that its technique or text will have on other countries or territories, or because of the novelty that it implies in the Asian country which, as we will see, is scarce, but because of the moment in which it approves and because of the number of people to whom it is addressed. The first Civil Code of China was that of 1929-1930, divided into five Books: General Principles, Law of Obligations, Law of Assets, Family and Inheritance. The new Code has a total length of 1,260 articles, structured in seven Books and two “Supplementary Provisions”.
