Quick Question Friday, China Law Answers, Part XXIV
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 the questions we get asked and then comprehensively answer them, we would become overwhelmed. 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. We figure we might as well post some of these on here as well. On Fridays, like today.
I got an email the other day from a reader who linked over to a Vox article, entitled, Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch’s meeting scandal is every Clinton scandal in miniature, along with the following text:
How can you always say China is the most corrupt country in the world when your own country is equally as bad? It is not fair that you always focus on China and ignore your own country. You should cover the Clinton scandals and how influence has been for sale in the United States with lobbying for the last century. Why do you never compare levels of violence between the United Stats and China either?
We actually get such emails and comments all the time (usually with a lot more vitriol), both here and even more often on our Facebook page, where there was one person who would leave a similar comment just about every time we posted anything remotely negative about China. Here though, once and for all, is the answer to the above email and to the many that we receive:
- What are you even talking about? We have never called China the most corrupt country in the world, nor do we consider it as such.
- We fully recognize that the United States is far from perfect.
- Read the title of this blog. It starts with “China” for a reason.
Any more questions?
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.
