Chapter 559 559 Lawsuit

The representative of the investigation team of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade issued a public statement in New York, USA: "...... China is very dissatisfied with the unwarranted slander of China's products, reputation and image by some untrustworthy media, and expresses indignation and strong protest, and China will join hands with the victim enterprises, as well as the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States, economic and trade associations and other organizations to defend their rights by legal means. ”

Chinese companies with the blessing of state power, in the United States expressed a fierce momentum, especially the strength of the investigation team, directly found the evidence of the so-called joint investigation, confirmed that the investigation is directional, biased, and malicious reports aimed at destroying the image and reputation of Chinese goods, which makes the Chinese from afar take advantage of it, even if the Americans want to support their own media and enterprises, they are a little unable to open their mouths.

Lai Zhenping, a senior agent in the economic field of the Strategy Bureau, also personally came to the United States to assist the Department of Commerce in prosecuting these US media and the American companies behind them. If you prosecute in the United States, you will definitely encounter many obstacles, but if you win in the United States, it will definitely be an effective deterrent to fight against trade barriers in other countries around the world.

There is absolutely no reason to eat in vain, and individuals can also talk about the blessing of suffering, but the game between countries, then it is easy to bully. So the state made a decision, this lawsuit must be fought, even if it costs millions of dollars in legal fees to feed the United States, the lawsuit must be won. This is not a multi-million dollar lawsuit, but a matter related to the future export of Chinese goods to the United States of tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars.

Because of the huge impact of this turmoil, which has attracted the attention of American society and even the world, some law firms have taken the initiative to seek out the Chinese side, hoping to undertake this lawsuit that has attracted worldwide attention. In other words, the American lawyer profession has always lacked the so-called moderation, and they can describe felons as law-abiding citizens, and in general, if the price is right, it is not impossible to sell a traitor.

Lawyers don't think that helping China win the lawsuit will affect the future prosperity of the U.S. goods and manufacturing industry, they only know that the Chinese side has a lot of evidence, and the other party does have malicious reports, and this lawsuit has enough exposure, as long as the investment is enough, it is not particularly difficult to win the lawsuit, and through this lawsuit, some law firms can increase their prestige.

Many law firms may have a high success rate, but they are not well-known because they cannot be trusted by some of the big conglomerates, nor can they be favored by the elite, and if these law firms can handle one or two cases that have a huge impact on society, then they will immediately rise to the top of the list.

Many law firms have this idea, preferring to take a little less legal fees and help China fight this lawsuit. What's more, a country as big as China is not short of money at all.

Naturally, the US government cannot be too biased on this issue, and if it is confirmed that several media outlets have indeed reported falsely or even maliciously attacked, then they will not be able to hang their own faces when they speak to them. However, the United States does not want Chinese goods to sell too well in its own market, so it can only exert a little other effort in the hope that China will lose the lawsuit.

Although the United States has always flaunted its judicial independence, in fact, as long as the judiciary is human, it will be affected. The judges involved in the case will inevitably be told to face each other, and what is even more painful is that this kind of highly professional case is still tried by the jury system in the United States.

There is a huge paradox in the selection of jury members, and the fair handling of the case requires the jury members to have an understanding of the background and details of the case, and in this case, it is necessary to understand a part of the knowledge of China's economy, and the selection of jury members for the sake of fairness screens out those candidates who may be biased because of their prior experience related to the case, so as to ensure the fair trial of the case. In this way, in fact, to the greatest extent, the jury members are biased towards domestic companies rather than foreign companies, and even if foreign companies or organizations are in charge, the jury is actually biased, which will also have an adverse impact on foreign companies and organizations.

It can be said that the biggest enemy of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and Trade in prosecuting several media outlets for malicious and inaccurate reports is the jury system in the United States, and no one knows whether there are any people in these juries who help their relatives and do not help them, and ultimately choose to shield the criminals, but instead beat them up and make the Chinese suffer.

Americans, who boast of a sound and fair judicial system, regret the outcome at best, but never escalate the problem to the institutional side.

Qi Yiming believes that China must fight back against the United States on this issue, and the role of Sino-US trade for China is increasing, and the United States has established more and more trade barriers for various considerations, and if this momentum cannot be suppressed, then China will face more troubles in the future.

In addition, Qi Yiming also strongly advocated the use of WTO rules to put pressure on the United States, and advocated free trade agreements in advance around the world, making China a leading country in free trade, and weakening the United States' world leadership in free markets and free trade.

However, most of the trade barriers erected by the United States to China are concentrated in some labor-intensive products, such as textiles and light industrial small commodities, because the United States has not yet completed its own industrial transformation, and there are still a large number of enterprises engaged in this kind of production, and the impact of these similar Chinese products on them is huge, so the United States has to hold high the war-free card to protect these industries, and by the way find ways to transform these enterprises that have been less competitive. Perhaps the United States is also a little clear that such a means cannot be used forever, and it is unlikely that enterprises and industries under the wing of trade protection will grow.

In addition, the United States is mainly focusing on containment of Chinese-made machinery, automobiles, aircraft, ships, and chemicals. Mechanical and electrical products China also has a huge cost advantage, and even in terms of quality is not bad, many companies in the United States have chosen Chinese machinery in order to reduce costs, which has also led to the depression and even closure of some old heavy industry enterprises in the United States. In the end, the United States not only set high import taxes on imported cars, but also forced Chinese auto companies to set up factories in the United States to be able to sell in the United States. This gives Qi Yiming a sense of immediacy in China's domestic car sales market.

For this reason, many Chinese auto companies have adopted a two-pronged strategy, on the one hand, they continue to export finished vehicles to the United States, and on the other hand, they will place assembly plants in the United States, and then assemble parts from China for final assembly, bypassing discriminatory trade.

In many ways, the trade entanglement between China and the United States can really be regarded as a battle of wits and courage.

In fact, it is not yet the time for most American companies to choose to buy Chinese machinery, or ordinary Americans to buy Chinese cars, but if this trend continues, they will know the benefits of using Chinese products, and the impact on the United States will be huge.

After the third technological revolution, the focus of the United States industry is on the 3C industry, biotechnology and other high-tech industries, but the traditional manufacturing industry is the basis for the United States to ensure its own strength.

On the contrary, the United States has not imposed heavy taxes on China's exports to the United States, such as electronic products, high-end drugs, and other products that the United States does not have the production and processing capacity or high manufacturing costs, because these are also things they urgently need, and they are eager for China to help them produce and manufacture.

In addition, in terms of cultural products, Chinese goods have not been greatly constrained. The United States seems to be quite dismissive of Chinese cultural exports. Things such as Chinese film and television, because of cultural differences, are not particularly popular, and Chinese film and television are relatively popular in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and some Chinese fans have also appeared. The more popular ones in the United States are some science fiction works produced in China, Americans are not interested in history, literature and art at all, but they are extremely obsessed with superpowers, star wars and the like.

In recent years, there have been several well-known Chinese film and television works that have landed in the United States and caused widespread repercussions, all of which are science fiction superpower works. Even some domestic film and television companies have also taken a fancy to this market, specially adapted to the tastes of European and American countries, and even invited some foreign actors to shoot sci-fi works, and then exported them, becoming a popular industry. Anyway, when it comes to film and television production and special effects, China is already ahead of the curve.

On the contrary, the Chinese cultural products that are almost indiscriminate in the United States are all kinds of games, and computer games are the mainstay. One of the most important functional industries in China's software industrial parks in several major cities is the game industry. Because Qi Yiming took the ready-made experience and ready-made game works of later generations, it was particularly popular after the production team slightly polished it, and then added Chinese colors, especially Chinese values, and then launched it to foreign markets.

Due to China's high land, the performance of mainstream PCs at this time has basically reached the level of the early 21st century, which also provides the basis for many more complex games to run.

Among the real-time strategy games, the three major real-time strategy games have appeared, and "Red Alert" is really not daring to come out, but StarCraft, Age of Empires and Warcraft have all been successfully launched.

In first-person shooting, CS did not appear, and the Battlefield series based on Battlefield 1942 was successfully plagiarized by China Electronic Arts. In the classic RPG, the big pineapple is also labeled as a Chinese design. Football, basketball, baseball, and ice hockey games in the sports category have also found their own fan base. Even games like Monopoly are not spared.

PC games produced in China account for nearly 90% of the entire U.S. game market, and can be regarded as the first field in which China dominates the world.
