Abstract
China has established a comprehensive commercial law framework since introduction of the open door policy in the late 1970s. China’s achievements in economic and law reform have been witnessed by the world. However, the enforcement of law in China has always been criticised by scholars and international businesses. This article recognises that selective enforcement of law, or in some cases no enforcement, by government agents is one of the major issues in China’s law enforcement. It takes the development and enforcement of franchise regulation in China as example, to analyse how inconsistence of enforcement of legislation can damage the legal system.
