Summary:Abstract China has set forth on making its Antarctic law after a long time of ferment. This forthcoming law should refer to the most suitable Chinese theoretical standards of law‐making. It should also clarify China's domestic and international legal dimensions and the doctrine of rights shaped by obligations in the Antarctic Treaty System. All of which determine that this new law shall have the nature of obligation‐orientation and will have high impact on Chinese Antarctic activities in the future, though leaving possible drawbacks relevant to the suspended issues under the Antarctic Treaty System.
