Comments on: looks like the sanlu lawsuits are still going nowhere http://www.chinalawandbusiness.com/2008/10/looks-like-the-sanlu-lawsuits-are-still-going-nowhere/ China law blog covering Chinese law, business, and non-profits by Thomas Chow Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:38:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: T Chow http://www.chinalawandbusiness.com/2008/10/looks-like-the-sanlu-lawsuits-are-still-going-nowhere/comment-page-1/#comment-2761 T Chow Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:27:50 +0000 http://www.chinalawandbusiness.com/2008/10/17/looks-like-the-sanlu-lawsuits-are-still-going-nowhere/#comment-2761 I beg to differ. It's not just the U.S. law system that uses the policies I discuss. And if I remember correctly, Chinese law (as well as Taiwanese law) draws a lot upon U.S. law as a source of inspiration. (and other sources too such as Germany and Japan) I think even the Chinese government understands that its legal system needs to get better. I view my commentary as providing what I think is useful policy correction/addition. How do I think it works? Because I see Chinese people and clients litigate in U.S. courts. Not often--it often takes quite a bit of persuasion (or frustration) to overcome their inertia and dislike of the legal system. But frankly, once they actually embrace the legal system, it does them a lot of good. I think you're too complacent in your "knowledge" of the Chinese legal system/culture, and don't care for any sort of improvement. I normally moderate our your comments, but just so I can say this, I left it: why don't you provide real solutions for once? I beg to differ.

You're just putting what you know about US law onto the Chinese system and it doesn't work. Typical square peg, round hole scenario. As it stands, the Government is arranging compensation directly, it is considered not necessary to go through the legal system to obtain it. You don’t understand China.
