Quanzhou has a large export-oriented manufacturing base covering footwear, textiles, consumer goods and industrial products. Understanding this background can help a buyer identify potential problems at an earlier stage.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- BCL_CITY_OPENING_END --><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"\/\/player.bilibili.com\/player.html?isOutside=true&amp;aid=116346536923395&amp;bvid=BV1FGDgBXE1r&amp;cid=37238605667&amp;p=1\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Why is fraud so difficult to establish under Chinese law? Attorney Qiang Lyu often receives inquiries from clients saying, \u201cAttorney Lyu, I\u2019ve been scammed. I shipped the goods but received no payment, or I paid in full but got no delivery. This is fraud, and I want you to help me report it to the police to pursue criminal liability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In such situations, I always tell my clients directly: fraud is not as easy to prove as you might think. To establish a criminal fraud offense, at least three key elements must be met:<\/p>\n<p>The offender fabricated facts or materially concealed the truth.<br \/>\nThe offender possessed the intent to defraud from the very beginning.<br \/>\nIf the offender defrauded three or more victims, it is more likely to be recognized as fraud.<\/p>\n<p>In legal practice, most fraud reports submitted to the public security authorities are not accepted as criminal cases. Instead, the police will issue a written notice advising the victim to file a civil lawsuit in court.<\/p>\n<p>Just put yourself in their position: If every dispute over non-payment for goods or non-delivery after payment were treated as criminal fraud, there would be no need for civil courts at all.<\/p>\n<p>I am Attorney Qiang Lyu.

Common commercial problems can include quality disputes, production delays, OEM disputes, non-conforming goods and payment disputes. In a dispute, contracts, purchase orders, technical specifications, inspection records, invoices, payment records and correspondence may become important evidence. For footwear, textile, consumer-goods and machinery transactions, buyers should pay particular attention to exact product specifications, approved samples, production tolerances, inspection arrangements and the identity of the contracting entity.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s position within Fujian and its connection with a dense network of export-oriented manufacturers and trading companies can provide useful commercial context when evaluating a supplier relationship. Local characteristics do not determine the outcome of a dispute.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- BCL_CITY_MIDDLE_END --><\/p>\n<p><!-- BCL_CITY_CLOSING_START --><\/p>\n<section class=\"bcl-city-closing\">\n<h3>Before Taking Action Against a Supplier in Quanzhou<\/h3>\n<p>For an overseas buyer, a practical first step is usually to identify the correct Chinese contracting party and preserve evidence showing what was ordered, what was paid and what was delivered. Depending on the contract and dispute, the next step may involve a demand, settlement negotiations, arbitration, litigation or enforcement.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- BCL_CITY_CLOSING_END --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When sourcing from Quanzhou, overseas companies should consider not only the contract itself but also the type of local supplier, the surrounding supply chain and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-china-contract-law"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/968\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lyuandassociates.com\/quanzhou\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
