This includes OECD standards with penalties going into hundreds and millions of Euros for European banks in intercontinental transactions. This leads to many of them cutting off China Business.
– On the legal base, China is more forthcoming, working very hard to have their legal system embedded in the international rule of law including the new civil code last year.

International China Law

“I always try to pick them up at the airport and then we sit in the back of a car and we drive to the center of Beijing and then if the Westerner will start commenting on “ah that’s very dangerous, he drives wrong, he should do this, he should do that…” I know he this is not my client. You know, I’m not doing this.” – Dr. Victor Meijers
