精彩书摘

　　Given the lack of consensus on the subject's title, scope and nature, it is not surprising that there exists no universally accepted definition for private international law, and scholars of different countries formulate different definitions.This section introduces the definition of private international law from the perspective of Chinese law.
　　In Chinese textbooks, the classic definition is that "private international law is the branch of law that regulates international civil and commercial relations," or "the branch of law that deals with civil and commercial relations that involve foreign elements." In this context, it is vital to define the term "international" or "foreign."
　　As a matter of fact, Chinese private international law scholars have different opinions on the criterion for the classification between domestic and foreign (or international) cases.Some authors advocate that if a civil case involves the interests of more than one country, it should be qualified as a civil case involving foreign elements； otherwise, it should be as a purely domestic case.Nonetheless, others prefer a more objective approach which is called "three-element-test." Pursuant to this approach, if one of the following elements, i.e, the parties, the subject matter and the juristic fact, has contact with foreign jurisdiction, the case in question will be classified as the one involving foreign elements.
