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.

On July 18, 2025, a delegation led by Li Yousheng, Member of the Party Committee and Director of the Political Department of the Chongqing Municipal Justice Bureau, and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Chongqing Lawyers’ Industry, together with He Hongtao, President of the Chongqing Lawyers Association; Xu Deng, Deputy Director of the Lawyers’ Work Division of the Chongqing Municipal Justice Bureau and Secretary-General of the Municipal Lawyers Association; Chen Youkun, Executive Vice President of the Chongqing Lawyers Association; Jiang Zhiguang, Deputy Secretary-General of the Chongqing Lawyers Association; Luo Shu, Director of the Chongqing Lawyers Association’s Specialized Committee on Cross-border Dispute Resolution; Jiang Qin, Director of Chongqing Zhihe Zhi Law Firm; Du Xiaohua, Director of Chongqing Huadong Law Firm; and Luo Canlin, Partner at Chongqing Qihui Law Firm, paid a visit to our firm, accompanied by Wan Li, Vice President of the All China Lawyers Association, President of the Yunnan Lawyers Association, and Director of our firm, as well as Zhang Hui, Vice President of the Yunnan Lawyers Association. The delegation came to our firm to engage in business exchange activities.
On July 11, 2025, Attorney Chen Jinling, Director of the Environmental and Energy Practice Committee of our firm, was invited to deliver a special lecture for the rotating training program for Party members in Kunyuan Road Community, Zhaozong Community, and Mianshan Community. Over a hundred Party members and community staff who attended the event joined Attorney Chen Jinling in interpreting the "Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China," thereby contributing to the strengthening of Party conduct within the communities.
Recently, the judicial opinion in Civil Judgment No. (2018) Supreme People's Court Min Shen No. 5332—that “even if the construction contract is invalid, since the parties have explicitly agreed on a reduction ratio for the settlement of project payments, which reflects their true intentions, and the project has passed acceptance inspection, the agreement on the reduction ratio is binding on both parties”—has been widely circulated within the circle of construction lawyers, bringing joy to Party A (the general contractor or sub-contractor, or the party engaging in illegal subcontracting) and causing distress to Party B (the actual constructor). On this issue, the author holds a different view, arguing that the aforementioned opinion and judicial rule represent only a partial glimpse, failing to capture the whole picture. They do not reflect “the evolution and refinement of judicial practice regarding the aforementioned issue,” nor do they reveal “the growing convergence of judicial rules toward the ‘actual participation in management costs’ theory, which is more equitable and just.”
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.
