중국 소비자 보호 법제에 관한 고찰 -전자상거래에서의 소비자 보호를 중심으로-

Abstract

In order to minimize consumer damage caused by the changing times, China reinforced the obligations of business operators through the amendment of the 「Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interest」 on October 25, 2013. In addition, as the e-commerce, which represents a new type of consumer transaction method, became more important in China's economy and consumer life increases, the 「E-Commerce Law of the People's Republic of China」 was enacted on August 31, 2018, to regulate e-commerce professionally. In particular, in order to protect the rights and interests of consumers and promote e-commerce, the 「E-Commerce Law of the People's Republic of China」 standardized e-commerce behavior and strengthened the obligation of e-commerce business operators. The reform of China's consumer protection legislation has great implications for us in terms of “establishing an effective new consumer protection system in consideration of changes in the times” and “securing fairness and adequacy in consumer transactions through reinforcement of the obligations of business operators”.
