Quick Question Friday: China Law Answers, Part I
This is the first in what will be a weekly series, posted every Friday. 
Because of this blog, our China lawyers get a fairly steady stream of China law questions from readers, mostly via emails but occasionally via blog comments as well. If we were to conduct research on all these questions and then comprehensively answer them, that would soon become all that we do and we would soon be out of business. And that would be a bad thing for us and for this blog. So what we usually do is provide a super fast general answer and, when it is easy to do so, a link or two to a blog post that may provide some additional guidance.
It is interesting how often these emails and comments make clear that the writer either does not realize how complicated their situation is or is simply not willing to spend anything to actually resolve it.
This new series is going to essentially just going to take those questions and answers and run with them on here.
I urge anyone with their own questions to pose them as comments below or as comments to future posts as we will do our utmost to answer them in the same super-fast and anything but comprehensive manner, and always with the provisos that you get what you pay for and Nothing is More Expensive than a Cheap Lawyer.
So here goes, fresh from today no less:
Question: I have a really quick question for you. I just came across your article (Hiring A Chinese Employee Without A Chinese Entity. Good Luck With That) saying that my company should not hire independent contractors in China. That article was five years ago and we have two independent contractors in China. I understand that things have changed. Is that true?
Answer: We never told you what to do in China; that was a general post and certainly not directed at what your company is now five years later doing in China.
Things always change, especially when it comes to China law, and on this things have only gotten worse. I actually just wrote an article yesterday for Forbes, entitled, China’s Tax Authorities Want You where I talk about this very issue. I urge you to read it and to come back to us if you want our legal assistance to try to help you clean up your China operations.
The post Quick Question Friday: China Law Answers, Part I appeared first on China Law Blog.
We will be discussing the practical aspects of Chinese law and how it impacts business there. We will be telling you what works and what does not and what you as a businessperson can do to use the law to your advantage. Our aim is to assist businesses already in China or planning to go into China, not to break new ground in legal theory or policy.
