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.

As the fight against corruption continues to deepen, the number of official misconduct cases—primarily involving bribery offenses—remains on a fairly rapid upward trajectory. At the same time, the amounts involved in these official misconduct cases keep shattering previous perceptions. Under the current judicial interpretation, which stipulates that embezzlement and bribery amounts exceeding 3 million yuan will result in a sentence of more than ten years’ imprisonment, whether the defendant can have their legal liability reduced and receive a lighter sentence often hinges on whether they qualify for the self-surrender and meritorious service provisions set forth in Articles 67 and 68 of the Criminal Law—these provisions frequently become the defendant’s last “lifeline.” However, in judicial practice, due to inconsistencies in judicial philosophies and differences in evidence-gathering approaches, the determination of self-surrender circumstances often becomes a contentious and difficult issue throughout the course of case handling. Drawing on common problems encountered in judicial practice, the author examines the current practical challenges in identifying self-surrender circumstances in official misconduct cases, thereby calling for the consolidation of consensus within judicial practice.
[Lawyer’s Perspective] A Comparative Legal Examination of the Miranda Rule
The Miranda Rule, born out of the Miranda case in Arizona, USA, in the 1960s, has had a profound impact on the history of law. In essence, the Miranda Rule brought to public attention—through a sensationalized approach—the suspect’s right to remain silent and the right to have an attorney present (the right to legal counsel)—leaving an indelible impression on everyone. Although some countries’ laws had already addressed the rights to silence and to counsel prior to this, it was the Miranda Rule that explicitly required that these rights be clearly and unmistakably informed to the suspect; otherwise, the procedure would be deemed unlawful. In fact, the Miranda Rule is not unfamiliar to the general public. We often see it portrayed in movies and TV shows—particularly in Hong Kong dramas—where officers frequently say during arrests: “You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say may be used against you in court.” That’s precisely the Miranda Rule (also known as the Miranda Warning)—though the full text of the Miranda Rule encompasses much more than just this brief statement.
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.
