US people believe much in law to resolve conflict while Japanese prefer negotiation instead of jurisdiction. Law is unavoidable to maintain basic order of a society. Excessive law and control will also hinder the normal business activities. Law is usually created based on the need of the society. Thus, different societies have different kind of law as well as law-making and jurisdiction procedures.
China has a very different economic and social background.
Naturally, the law and jurisdiction are greatly different from that of the well-developed western countries. First, education standard of the people in China is still low in general. Chinese government has to use serious and subtle law to protect those poorly-educated from being cheated. Second, China is still transforming from the semi-planned economy to a free market economy. Everything is subject to change from time to time.
