====Mainland China==== In 2021, the mainland adopted the [[Civil Code of the People's Republic of China]] (CCPRC), Book Seven of which is titled "Tort Liability" and codifies a variety of torts, providing that an individual "who through his fault infringes upon another person's civil-law rights and interests shall bear tort liability".<ref name=CCPRC7>{{Cite web|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_the_People's_Republic_of_China/Book_Seven#Book_Seven_Tort_Liability|title=Civil Code of the People's Republic of China|first=National People's|last=Congress|via=Wikisource}}</ref> Book Seven outlines seven distinct categories of torts: * [[Product Liability]] ([https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China/Book_Seven#Chapter_IV_Product_Liability Chapter IV]) * Liability for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents ([https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China/Book_Seven#Chapter_V_Liability_for_Motor_Vehicle_Traffic_Accidents Chapter V]) * Liability for [[Medical Malpractice]] ([https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China/Book_Seven#Chapter_VI_Liability_for_Medical_Malpractice Chapter VI]) * Liability for Environmental Pollution and Ecological Damage ([https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China/Book_Seven#Chapter_VII_Liability_for_Environmental_Pollution_and_Ecological_Damage Chapter VII], comparable to [[toxic torts]] in common law jurisdictions) * Liability for Ultra-hazardous Activities ([https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China/Book_Seven#Chapter_VIII_Liability_for_Ultra-hazardous_Activities Chapter VIII], essentially codifying the [[Ultrahazardous activity|common law doctrine]] of the same name) * Liability for Damage Caused by Domesticated Animals ([https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China/Book_Seven#Chapter_IX_Liability_for_Damage_Caused_by_Domesticated_Animals Chapter IX]) * Liability for Damage Caused by Buildings and Objects ([https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Civil_Code_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China/Book_Seven#Chapter_X_Liability_for_Damage_Caused_by_Buildings_and_Objects Chapter X]) While Book Seven (titled "Tort Liability") of the [[Civil Code of the People's Republic of China|CCPRC]], which is influenced by a variety of common law and civil law jurisdictions, codifies the torts which exist under the law of Mainland China,<ref name=CCPRC7/> Book One of the CCPRC provides a comprehensive list of remedies for torts in Article 179:<ref name=CCPRC1VIII/> :γγ(1) cessation of the infringement; :γγ(2) removal of the nuisance; :γγ(3) elimination of the danger; :γγ(4) restitution; :γγ(5) restoration; :γγ(6) repair, redoing or replacement; :γγ(7) continuance of performance; :γγ(8) compensation for losses; :γγ(9) payment of liquidated damages; :γγ(10) elimination of adverse effects and rehabilitation of reputation; and :γγ(11) extension of apologies. These remedies apply to all categories of torts outlined in Book Seven or by any other provision of law. To this end, Book Seven specifically provides that "where a tortious act endangers another person's personal or property safety, the infringed person has the right to request the tortfeasor to bear tort liability such as cessation of the infringement, removal of the nuisance, or elimination of the danger".<ref name=CCPRC7/> Book One additionally provides that [[force majeure]]{{efn|Defined in Article 180 as "objective conditions which are unforeseeable, unavoidable, and insurmountable"}} constitutes a valid defence for tort liability while Article 184 in that book is a [[Good Samaritan law]] eliminating liability under tort law for individuals acting to save or rescue a potential plaintiff.<ref name=CCPRC1VIII/> Article 1176 in Book Seven provides a partial defence where an injury is caused in the course of a sport in which the plaintiff was consensually participating.<ref name=CCPRC7/>
