This paper examines the legal status and liability of e-commerce platform operators in China and Uzbekistan — the point of sharpest divergence between the two legal systems identified in the author’s comparative research. Based on an analysis of the Chinese E-Commerce Law of 2018 and the current Uzbek framework, it substantiates proposals for a statutory classification of operators and a graded, knowledge-based liability rule in the legislation of Uzbekistan.
