In February 2023,the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the"Opinions on Strengthening Legal Education and Theoretical Research in the New Era",which clearly mentioned the need to coordi-nate basic research with applied research,promote the reform of legal education,and build an independent knowledge system to better serve the construction of national rule of law and social development.Building China's independent legal knowledge system is not only a demand for improving China's legal research and education but also an important way to promote the construction of the rule of law,achieve social fairness and justice,and serve the sustainable development of the economy and society.The establishment of this system can not only strengthen the country's governance capacity but also enhance the overall legal awareness and legal literacy of society,lay-ing a solid theoretical foundation and practical support for building the rule-of-law in China.To this end,this written conversation has gathered four legal experts to deeply discuss how to build China's independent legal knowledge system in the fields of economic law,international law,civil law,and international business law.Zhang Shouwen's article"Economic Reform:An Important Factor Affecting the Construction of the Economic Law Knowledge System"believes that the formation and development of China's economic law knowledge system are deeply influenced by economic reforms.With the deepening and ex-pansion of economic reforms in different periods,the construction of economic law systems and theoretical research continue to develop,and the economic law knowledge system becomes increasingly refined.He Zhipeng's article"The National-International Duality of China's Independent International Law Knowledge System"argues that the independent knowledge system of international law must pass both national and international tests.As a part of China's independent knowledge system,the relevant concepts,judgments,princi-ples,and system designs must fully reflect China's mechanisms and concerns,while also having global theoretical participation and ac-ademic testing in the process.Yu Fei's article"One Position and Three Sources:Building China's Independent Civil Law Knowledge System"believes that China's independent civil law knowledge system should be based on the position of effectiveness,which is innova-tion,plus the three sources of civil law systems reflecting the nature of socialism,the excellent traditional culture of China,and the le-gal adjustments in the field of high technology,achieving innovation while solving local problems.Zuo Haicong's article"Building Chi-na's Characteristic International Business Law Discipline System,Academic System,and Discourse System"believes that our country ur-gently needs to confirm international business law as an independent secondary discipline of international law,conduct a more in-depth study of the basic theories,development laws,and specific systems of international business law,and further develop China's charac-teristic international business law discourse system.The above discussions provide important references for promoting the construction of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics,enhancing the discourse power and influence of Chinese legal studies.
