Daewoo sues Chery for an indemnity of RMB 80 millionPosted by Tsingsong, May 8, 2005 7:08 PM
 Yesterday, General Motor Daewoo Automobile Technology Company (GMDAT) brought suit to Beijing First Intermediate People’s Court against Chery Automobile Co. LTD (Chery), claiming unfair competition by Chery and relevant indemnity of 80 million. GMDAT claimed that QQ produced by Chery is surprisingly similar to Spark, which was produced on the basis of “MATIZ”. In May of 2003, General Motors Daewoo signed a licensing technology agreement with their joint venture Shanghai Automobile General Motors Wuling Automobile Company Limited (Shangqi GM Wuling) and authorized Shangqi GM Wuling to manufacture and sell SPARK car in China. In the claim, GMDAT required Chery to apologize for its infringement in public, and compensate GMDAT's economic lose of RMB 75 million plus the cost of lawyer and relevant investigation for 5 million. All the income of selling Chery QQ should be confisticated, and Shanghai Jinhong Company (Chery QQ's main dealer) should stopping selling this product. Chery claimed that QQ was designed independently, no any patent infringement. This suit is still in process now.

 Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?
