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.

![[Lawyer’s Perspective] The Difficult and Controversial Issue of Collusive Bidding Accompanying Official Crimes](/npublic/img/s.png "[Lawyer’s Perspective] The Difficult and Controversial Issue of Collusive Bidding Accompanying Official Crimes")
A new trend has emerged in the field of construction engineering: collusion in bidding, often accompanied by bribery and acceptance of bribes, is becoming increasingly common. In fact, such collusive bidding practices have always existed to some extent; however, previously the focus was mainly on investigating and prosecuting bribery and acceptance of bribes, with little attention paid to the related issue of collusive bidding itself. Faced with this new trend, collusive bidding crimes clearly deserve greater attention. Yet even more important is the complexity and controversy surrounding these cases. The complexity of such collusive bidding stems from the intricate interplay among official misconduct, the crime of collusive bidding, differences between administrative and criminal offenses, and the nuanced relationship—dependent on specific factual circumstances—that determines whether a collusive bid actually constitutes a crime. This situation involves not only questions of fact-finding and legal application but also a number of issues that warrant careful examination from both legal and logical perspectives.
In the field of construction engineering, recoverable profits are directly linked to the economic interest balance and protection of the parties to a contract, often amounting to millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of yuan. However, due to the unique characteristics and complexity of construction projects, disputes arising from construction contract disputes frequently give rise to numerous controversies among the parties involved. Moreover, the people's courts do not consistently—nor even uniformly—interpret or apply the standards for awarding compensation for lost recoverable profits, with varying approaches sometimes being markedly different. By analyzing relevant legal provisions and typical cases, this article systematically reviews the current state of judicial practice regarding the protection of recoverable profits in construction engineering, identifies existing problems, and proposes potential solutions, thereby providing reference for the compliant party in anticipating and asserting their recoverable profits.
