Abstract:Aligning China's labor law with CPTPP labor provisions is benefi cial for China to integrate into the international economic and trade rules and also to avoid social dumping investigations. Its institutional framework includes principle clauses, substantive rights clauses, organizational clauses, implementation clauses, and dispute resolution clauses. The legal proposal for aligning China's labor law with CPTPP labor provisions can be divided into international and domestic levels. At the international level, the buffer period for implementing labor standards can be negotiated through bilateral agreements, procedural provisions can be utilized to prevent the abuse of dispute settlement procedures, and efforts can be made to timely approve relevant conventions concerning freedom of association and collective bargaining rights. At the domestic level, the CPTPP labor rules can be implemented in the Hainan Free Trade Port in advance. Specifi cally, in terms of forced labor, the focus can be on reforming the remuneration system for prisoners. Regarding occupational discrimination, efforts can be made to reform the household registration system to eliminate systemic discrimination based on household registration system to eliminate systemic discrimination based on household registration. In terms of freedom of association and collective bargaining rights, experiences from CPTPP signatory countries such as Vietnam and Singapore can be referenced.
