Lots of different possibilities here. If we’re talking about domestic PRC firms suing US foreign-invested enterprises in China, then I would say they are more likely to be sued now than a few years ago. This reflects an overall pattern of increased litigation here in China, though, and not any sort of targeting of US/foreign companies.

With respect to PRC companies suing US companies in the US, that too is on the rise. That dynamic is being driven by the fact that there are more Chinese companies overseas, and they have been there a while and are now familiar with the system (and what constitutes the normal cost of doing business there).

Let me know if you wanted to know about specific types of cases (tort, etc.).

Stan,

What’s the status of Chinese businesses filing suits against American based companies? Thanks.

Not sure which cases you are talking about. Then again, I was out in the heat all day, so my brain might be fried. Remind me, and I’d be happy to respond.

Stan, please let us know how justice was served in the case of the shanzhai verdicts in Hubei. How was the case with two opposide decisions by the Court finally resolved? I am curious.

Thanks
