Typical Claim Scenarios

Common situations where international clients sue a Chinese company

These are the disputes that usually need fast document control, proof mapping and a clear plan for service and enforcement.

Unpaid goods

A Chinese buyer received the goods but refuses to pay.

Build the claim around contract terms, shipping records, acceptance evidence, payment demands and the best forum for recovery.

Defective delivery

A supplier delivered products that do not match the agreed quality.

Review inspection reports, photos, samples, correspondence and damages before deciding whether to sue, settle or preserve assets.

Broken contract

The Chinese counterparty stopped performance or breached exclusivity terms.

Evaluate termination rights, compensation, jurisdiction and evidence that can support a practical claim and enforcement path.

Local resistance

The Chinese company is resisting service, jurisdiction or payment.

Plan the dispute around service issues, local procedure, asset pressure and the documents needed to move the case forward.

Lawyer-Led Litigation Strategy

Lawyer Zhao Xin combines commercial litigation with execution pressure

When the opposing company is in China, the real work is not only filing the claim. It is about building a record the court can use, choosing the right evidence, and planning for enforcement if the defendant does not pay voluntarily.

For international clients, the service focuses on practical next steps: where to sue, what to prove, how to serve the case, and how to turn a paper judgment into recovery.
