US-China Legal Cooperation Fund
Formed in late 1998, the US-China Legal Cooperation Fund sought to enhance bilateral cooperation in the field of law, in line with commitments announced by Presidents Bill Clinton and Jiang Zemin the year before. Fifteen years later, the Fund is ended after awarding a total of $1.7 million for 125 projects.
Outcomes:
With support from the fund, American and Chinese partners have educated legal professionals and law students on intellectual property rights, securities law, commercial dispute resolution, WTO rules, government procurement law, and other topics. Furthermore, the Fund has enabled American and Chinese partners to address criminal law, labor rights, environmental protection, and civil society development. The Fund also has a record of supporting access to government information.
