If a person does not wholly or in full measure carry out their tasks they are not putting in a full effort. They could do better.

The word "wholly" is from the word "whole". The person is not using the whole of his talents to do the job.

"In full measure" is probably associated with the idea of buying commodities such as liquids, grain, flour, spices, wine) which were measured by using vessels (earthenware, metal) which would hold just the correct amount if they were filled to the very top. You did not receive full measure if the measuring vessel was not completely filled.

The full sentence is as below:This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China without regard to its conflict of laws principles, as if wholly performed therein.I think 'therein' refers to 'in China', and 'as if wholly performed therein' means 'as if the agreement is wholly performed in China by both parties'. Am I right?Added: Yes, you are. The document is valid ANYWHERE just the same as if the signatories were in China.Thank you!
