China Rejects Coke Deal. We Told You All This Long Ago.
Posted on March 18, 2009David Barboza of the New York Times is out with an excellent article that nicely sums up why China rejected Coca Cola's bid to purchase Huiyuan. The article is entitled China Blocks Coke Bid for Juice Maker, and it does a great job summarizing the rejection because it quotes China Law Blog's own Steve Dickinson and because it reaffirms what we have been saying all along...
China Company Owe You Money? A "New" Way To Get It.
Posted on March 17, 2009My firm just seized a large sum of money from an Asian company that has owed our client a large sum of money for some time. I cannot describe this case here because it is still ongoing, but it makes for a great example of a little known way to grab money from Chinese companies...
China Business. Turns Out It Is Easy After All.
Posted on March 13, 2009I did a post the other day entitled, "China Business. We Never Said It Would Be Easy" In that post, I talked about how the global (and China's) economic downturn is accelerating legal problems for foreign businesses. Someone named Tim left the following comment, to which this post is addressed: I think there is a disconnect between your assertions of Beijing interests in not turning back the clock and what is happening on the ground...
Barbie In China Writ Large.
Posted on March 12, 2009Many years ago, my youngest daughter, now 11, would email the same-aged daughter of a Chinese lawyer with whom I had worked on a couple of cases and with whom I had become friends. What always amazed me about the correspondence (emails sent to my daughter were translated into English by the Chinese lawyer) between the two girls was how amazingly similar their lives were...

China. Friend Or Foe? Opportunity Or Challenge? Or, Why Can't We All Just Get Along?
Posted on March 08, 2009I got an email today from a client touting his success at sourcing wind energy components from China. My client's description of this project nicely sets forth why trade with China should not be oversimplified. Speaking of oversimplification, today is also the day before the final episode of this season's Dr...
China Auto. Who Calls The Shots?
Posted on March 07, 2009Great discussion going on in the blogosphere regarding consolidation/globalization of China's auto industry. I am of the strong view that the issues surrounding China's auto industry extend well beyond that particular industry as they pull in all sorts of issues, including China's companies going international, Chinese government involvement in industry, consumer sentiment, and how to handle manufacturing overcapacity...

Getting Your Consumer Product Into China.
Posted on February 22, 2009Silk Road International has an excellent post on importing consumer products into China. The post is entitled, "Q & A about Importing into China," and it starts out discussing why importing Western product into China is so rife with opportunity. To grossly summarize, more and more Chinese will pay for the better quality and higher prestige Western goods offer...

Posted on February 13, 2009By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson There's an expression out there about tides exposing things but I know if I try to use it I will muck it up, so I'm going to quote from that which I know: Bob Dylan: Johnny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement Thinking about the government The man in the trench coat Badge out, laid off Says he's got a bad cough Wants to...
China Patent Reform. When China is Good.....
Posted on February 13, 2009Regular readers know that CLB generally does not like to write much about upcoming laws. There are three reasons for this. One, there are plenty of existing laws about which to write and those, for obvious reasons, tend to be more central. Two, upcoming China laws often never come...
