东亚国际秩序与国籍秩序的演变- 兼论中国国籍法的与时俱进 -

Abstract

During the first and second Industrial Revolutions, due to some Chinese traditional thought’s instinctive exclusivity towards advanced science and technology, China lost a good opportunity . However, the introduction of the Law of Nations and the practice of Westernization Movement laid the foundations of jurisprudence for the initiation and development of China’s Nationality Law. The Law of Nations’ introduction was later in Japan than in China, but the law of nationality was made earlier than in China. Through the success of the Meiji Restoration and participation in the second Industrial Revolution, Japan stayed ahead of China in terms of comprehensive strength. In the early 20th century, faced with the invasion of Japan, China enacted the Nationality Regulations of the Qing Dynasty and the Nationality Law of the Republic of China. In the 1960s and 1970s, Japan and North Korea were ahead of China and South Korea on economic development. In the 1980s, South Korea’s economic development caught up with Japan’s. China enacted the Nationality Law of the People’s Republic of China while pursuing reform and opening up. Entering into the 21th century, China’s comprehensive national strength continues to rise. China has stepped into the ranks of economic power. Unfortunately, China’s current Nationality Law exists certain limitations While compared to China’s international status. The comprehensive national strength of each country is reflected not only in the country’s economic and international status, but also in its nationality status. So far, China has become the second largest economy in the world. In order to conform with comprehensive national strength and international status, China need an up-to-date Nationality Law.
