The lessons he draws from the Chinese experience in internet finance, and his sharp insights concerning the various regulatory approaches, will be invaluable to anyone interested in the technological frontiers of the finance sector.' Omri Ben Shahar, Leo and Eileen Herzel Professor of Law, and Kearney Director and founder of the Coase–Sandor Institute for Law and Economics at the University of Chicago Law School

'Some of the most interesting action in the Fintech space has been in China, where a combination of Big Tech massive incursions in core traditional banking services such as payment systems, banking disintermediation on the part of new players such as peer-to-peer lenders and a vibrant ecosystem of cryptoasset innovators have shaken the financial system and led to a variety of policy recipes. Robin Huang masterfully guides readers around China's Fintech space and very effectively pinpoints the strengths and weaknesses of its regulatory responses in this excellent book.' Luca Enriques, Professor of Corporate Law, Faculty of Law, University of Oxford

'This is a timely book. Professor Huang provides an expert analysis of the Fintech scene in China. It is possibly the most comprehensive review of the topic to date. Practitioners and policy makers will find this book informative and useful reading.' Laurence Li SC, Chairman, Hong Kong Financial Services Development Council

'Fintech is the new frontier of finance, and China is at the frontier of Fintech. Robin Huang provides a comprehensive account of how Fintech in China has been regulated, and of how regulation has shaped its development. There have been successes (mobile payments) and, in relative terms, failures (online lending). Professor Huang's account will be essential reading for all those seeking to understand the future of finance in and beyond China.' Simon F. Deakin, Professor of Law, University of Cambridge
