Abstract
The Tort Law of China, in 2009, reaffirmed that medical malpractice liability is a sort of fault-based tort liability. This law adopted an objective standard of fault, with provisions of presumption of fault under certain circumstances. The new law also overthrew the regulation of the Supreme People's Court which required the defendant to prove the lack of causation. In malpractice of medical products and blood transfusion, the physician will assume non-fault liability.
