Research on China’s marine governance legal system from the perspective of international rule alignment
China's marine governance legal system, while demonstrating significant development, presents both strengths and ongoing challenges in alignment with international norms.

Key bottlenecks include legal coordination gaps and limitations in land-sea integration. Proposed optimization strategies focus on legislative restructuring, cross-departmental collaboration, enhanced international engagement, and forward-looking planning to address emerging threats like climate change.
