An efficient shopping path, saving both time and effort has had its significant impact on our everyday life. E-commerce caused the enormous transformation of business models in the world from its conventional forms, with superior technical advantages.However, as a newly developed industry, e-commerce with its own aspects such as the openness publicly available via networks subsequentyly raised the question of how to construct a healthy and fair market. Global legislation on e-commence going to become the key subject in the near future.The legislation of e-commerce of course are under the concepts of Commercial Law, but its unique particularity pushes us to seek more appropriate regulations that adapt to the uniqueness, such as the openness and intangible characteristics. Also, it is essential to provide an integrated solution in a global sense.The Chinese e-commerce had a rather delayed start, but the subsequent development has been speedy and dramatic. In contrast to the developed world, it is still behind in many aspects, including some technical problems, and legal inssues remain to be answered. Thus, in light of the fast development of e-commerce in China and its significant impact in the economy, it is an urgent task to regulate the e-commerce industry, introduce relevant international laws and develop a set of e-commerce laws and regulations domestically.This article analysed the development of e-commerce in China and the status of the prevailing legislations, in comparison with the legislations overseas.
