Abstract
This paper examines the emerging trends that are setting off alarms of retreat from politico-legal reforms that were initially launched in 1978. It raises the following questions: what is the future of Chinese law and Chinese legal reforms in Xi’s ‘New Era’? Are we witnessing the return of legal instrumentalism to China? Even more challengingly, we must ask, could a rule of law exist in the absence of checks and balances, judicial independence and the separation of the Party from State?
Keywords: Rule of Law in China, Legal Reform in China, Xi's New Era
