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. Expert in the PPP Expert Database of the Yunnan Provincial Department of Finance. Specializes in legal practice in administrative areas such as the Government Procurement Law and Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), as well as civil and commercial disputes including private lending disputes and corporate bankruptcy and restructuring.
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. During these reviews, I provided project companies with advice and insights on various aspects, including contract management, risk management, regulatory frameworks, policy support systems, and investment and financing models for 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.
[Zhongji Briefing] Yunnan Xindao Law Firm Visited Our Firm to Conduct Business Exchange Activities
On July 23, 2025, a delegation led by Director Liu Haoyuan from Yunnan Xindao Law Firm (hereinafter referred to as “Xindao Firm”), including lawyers Long Yan, Dong Xiongshi, Feng Lin, and Zhou Huijuan, visited our firm to engage in business exchange activities.
The right of the actual contractor to claim payment for the project work is derived from Article 793, Paragraph 1 of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China and Article 24 of the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation (I) on the Application of Laws in Handling Disputes over Construction Project Contracting Contracts. Both provisions stipulate that such right is contingent upon the “construction project having passed acceptance inspection.” Consequently, in practice, it is common for the project owner or the contractor to raise the defense that “the project constructed by the actual contractor has quality problems,” thereby challenging the actual contractor’s right to payment. This often gives rise to disputes: If a project has quality problems, does the actual contractor necessarily lose his or her right to claim payment for the project work?
