In today's frequent and complex international exchanges, international law, as a rule formed by the development of international relations, plays an important role in the international community. Studying law in China can help students understand the various treatment that China and their own countries are receiving in the international community, as well as the reasons why the behaviors of some countries are accepted or criticized. They can also view the international community from the perspective of China, thus helping students to form a more comprehensive view of the international community.
