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.
Introduction to Attorney Li Rui:
Senior Partner at Yunnan Zhongji Law Firm, Head of the Administrative Affairs Department, and Lead Attorney. Graduate of China University of Political Science and Law.

As one of the first batch of legal experts in the Yunnan Provincial Department of Finance’s PPP Project Expert Database, I have participated in the review of more than 40 PPP projects.

As a result, I have accumulated a wealth of materials and case studies in the PPP field and possess considerable theoretical and practical experience.
![[Lawyer’s Perspective] What a Legal Professional Thought About While Reflecting on the Textile Factory Arson Case](/npublic/img/s.png "[Lawyer’s Perspective] What a Legal Professional Thought About While Reflecting on the Textile Factory Arson Case")
It’s been a little over two months since the arson incident at the bustling textile factory. The real reason I’m writing this article only now is due to a small, personal circumstance. Two months ago, Xiao Tian from the School of Law at Beijing University of Science and Technology came to our team for a summer internship. At the time, just to gauge Xiao Tian’s legal expertise, I asked her to write an article for me to take a look at. As it happened, the textile-factory arson case had occurred not long before, so I suggested that Xiao Tian write an article on that very topic. She did, and when I read it, I thought her writing was quite good—though it differed somewhat from my own perspective. I think I even said something along the lines of, “I’ll revise the article a bit and then publish it on the ‘Haibo Criminal Defense’ WeChat public account.” But somehow, I never got around to doing that. Now that Xiao Tian’s two-month summer internship is almost over, I suddenly remembered this project—and decided to finally see it through. That’s how this article came to be.
In the past couple of days, two incidents have been circulating with considerable buzz within legal circles: One is an incomplete copy of a judgment issued by the People’s Court of a certain county in southwestern China, involving a construction contract dispute; the other is a series of short videos documenting the trial of the late Frank Caprio, former judge of the Providence Municipal Court in Rhode Island, USA, along with memoirs paying tribute to Judge Frank. In the judgment on the construction contract dispute issued by the People’s Court of that county in southwestern China, the court employed straightforward, unadorned political logic and factual rationality to evaluate and reject the defendant’s defense based on the statute of limitations—though such a defense might otherwise have been legally valid. In the short videos of Judge Frank’s trials that have been widely shared, most episodes feature Judge Frank engaging in witty and insightful conversations with the defendants about their lives, ultimately dismissing the charges against them. If there’s any common thread between these two cases, it’s precisely how both approached the interplay between natural justice, human sentiment, objective facts, and legal provisions—and how they arrived at judgments that were accepted by the parties involved and widely endorsed by the public.
To deeply implement the socialist rule-of-law philosophy and help build a cadre team that is loyal, clean, and responsible, recently, Lawyer Hai-bo Shui from Yunnan Zhongji Law Firm was invited by China Shipbuilding Industry Materials Yun-Gui Co., Ltd. to deliver a special rule-of-law lecture on the theme of “Preventing Illegal and Criminal Activities.”
Our firm is divided into several business departments based on their respective areas of practice, including: Criminal Law Department, Civil Law Department, Administrative Law Department, Financial and Securities Department, Construction and Real Estate Department, Intellectual Property Department, and Labor and Healthcare Department.
