At the invitation of the Yunnan Province Bidding and Tendering Association, lawyer Li Rui from Yunnan Zhongji Law Firm delivered a training session on December 23, 2020, to personnel involved in procurement operations at the 96602 Unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (a Rocket Force unit). Lawyer Li Rui provided training covering various aspects, including government procurement procedures and methods, regulatory requirements, and case studies.
Although military procurement differs from local procurement and is not subject to the current relevant laws, regulations, and local government policies, the "Government Procurement Law of the People's Republic of China," its implementing regulations, and the numerous related laws and policies together constitute a comprehensive system and framework for procurement. Military procurement can therefore draw on and refer to these established norms and practices.
Through this training, participants have gained a more intuitive and profound understanding of the knowledge related to government procurement practices, further familiarized themselves with government procurement policies and requirements, enhanced their awareness as procurement entities, and reinforced their sense of responsibility in procurement activities. This has significantly improved procurement personnel’s awareness of lawful procurement and their professional competence. The training will play a positive role in standardizing procurement work and lay a solid foundation for performing future procurement tasks effectively.

Domestic violence is not a domestic matter: Examining how the law protects victims through two heinous cases.
“Elegant bribery” is not uncommon in cases of official misconduct, and some of the news reports that have appeared in the media are truly eye-opening. In practice, elegant bribery exhibits several distinctive features: First, certain criminal methods are indeed highly concealed—or might even be described as “sophisticated”—making them extremely difficult to detect and prosecute. Second, legally speaking, elegant bribery involves issues such as errors in perception, the consistency between subjective intent and objective actions, and the distinction between completed and attempted crimes. Moreover, at times it can be exceedingly challenging to differentiate between genuine and fake items, rendering these cases particularly complex and perplexing. Third, given the unique trading norms and industry traditions that have evolved over thousands of years around calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and other such artifacts, simply applying criminal law to certain situations could inadvertently disrupt this time-honored sector. Consequently, it is not easy to draw a clear line between cracking down on such behavior and safeguarding the integrity of the relevant industries. This article seeks to analyze and explore the issues surrounding elegant bribery.
In the field of construction projects, it is quite common for enterprises, driven by their own interests, to lend their qualification certificates to other entities for use. However, the practice of an actual contractor without proper qualifications borrowing the name of a qualified construction company to undertake projects is explicitly prohibited by laws and regulations—it constitutes an illegal “nominal subcontracting” arrangement. In practice, although the entity being sub-contracted often employs various measures to actively evade legal risks, it frequently finds itself embroiled in numerous lawsuits due to the inherent illegality of the nominal subcontracting arrangement itself, as well as the lack of clear definitions for what constitutes such an arrangement, its diverse forms, unclear standards for rights and obligations, and significant disagreements over liability allocation. As a result, the entity being sub-contracted faces substantial legal risks. Therefore, this article, from the perspective of the entity being sub-contracted, combines selected judicial viewpoints to provide a brief analysis of the risks and liabilities it confronts.
