Data through Devices: Chinese and US governance of cross-border data flows’ (Deborah Healey/Kayleen Manwaring/Lu Wang)

Bruce’s research compares the legal frameworks currently emerging in China and the US which concern cross-border data flows. With each framework grounded principally in sensitivities of information inferable from data, the thesis additionally considers potential relevancies of advancing data analytics capabilities within data flow restriction determinations. Bruce is supervised by Deborah Healey, Kayleen Manwaring, and Lu Wang.

'Understanding the Dispute Settlement Mechanism of the Belt and Road Initiative: Characteristics, Challenges, and Implications' (Kun Fan/Jonathan Bonnitcha/Heng Wang)

Ms Xiaolei’s project examines how China exercises power and authority in the cross-border commercial dispute settlement under the Belt and Road Initiative. It will investigate the state quo and characteristics of the current dispute settlement mechanism and explore the possibilities of developing a new mechanism, to understand China’s role in transnational economic governance.

'Oppression Remedies for Shareholders in China -- From the Perspective of Australian Legal System' (Xiao-chuan Weng/ Marina Nehme)

My current research aims to analyze the similarities and differences between China and Australia on the issue of shareholder oppression, which would focus on the adaptability of Australian company law to the Chinese judicial environment and actual conditions. I am trying to set up a series of systematic remedies for Chinese shareholders to solve shareholder oppression from the perspective of Australian law, including private remedies beforehand and judicial remedies afterward.
