Chang Jinyun
Partner of Jingsh Law Firm, Director of Cooperation Office in Paris, France
Chang Jinyun, a partner at Jingsh Law Firm and director of the Paris Cooperation Office, said that as Chinese companies accelerate their "going out", the simultaneous "going global" of legal services has become a practical need to serve and ensure the overseas development of Chinese-funded enterprises. It is also an important window to display the image of China's rule of law and spread the professional capabilities of Chinese lawyers. He pointed out that he hopes that the overseas cooperation offices of Jingshi Law Firm can rely on the strategic resources and professional strength of national-level external communication platforms such as the Foreign Language and Literature Bureau to promote the in-depth integration of legal practice and international media, and spread the achievements of China's rule of law, the high-quality services of Chinese lawyers, and the practical experience of Chinese companies' overseas compliance to more widely and accurately overseas, continuously enhance the international communication, influence and recognition of Chinese legal services, and inject stronger communication momentum into the international development of legal services.
Ye Danping
Head of the establishment of the cooperation office in Buenos Aires, Argentina of Jingsh Law Firm
Ye Danping, head of the establishment of the cooperation office in Buenos Aires, Argentina of Jingsh Law Firm, said that the office is actively linking high-quality resources at home and abroad to explore the construction of a new paradigm of cooperation with South America that is a trinity of "legal compliance + content dissemination + circle channel". She pointed out that Jingshi Law Firm can give full play to its professional advantages in international legal compliance, deeply integrate with Nankai University’s academic capabilities in the fields of international communication, regional and country studies, and explore a collaborative overseas model. She expressed the hope that by integrating legal, communication and regional resources, we can better serve the compliance layout, brand communication and cooperation expansion of Chinese-funded enterprises in the South American market, and provide more systematic and sustainable legal and communication guarantees for Sino-foreign cultural exchanges, economic and trade cooperation and the protection of overseas interests of enterprises.
Liu Ye
Director of Cuba and Dominica Cooperation Office of Jingsh Law Firm
Liu Ye, director of the Cuba-Dominican Cooperation Office of Jingsh Law Firm, shared his observations and thoughts based on business practices in the Caribbean. She said that although Cuba and the Dominican Republic are both in the Caribbean, their national conditions, market environments and cooperation models are obviously different. As a socialist country, Cuba's related cooperation is generally more prudent. Currently, its business is mainly focused on Cuba's business in China and a small number of Chinese-funded enterprises' overseas projects, which has higher regulatory requirements for communication work. Dominica has a more open market and strong business vitality. Although it has established diplomatic relations with China for a relatively short time, the demand of Chinese enterprises to go overseas has increased significantly. She believes that it is possible to strengthen the dissemination of the positive image of Chinese enterprises overseas, demonstrate the positive role of Chinese-funded enterprises in promoting employment and promoting regional development, and use law and communication to work together to serve China-Latin America economic and trade cooperation and the overseas development of Chinese enterprises.
Cai Yintong
Researcher at the Regional and Country Research Center of Nankai University
Cai Yintong, a researcher at Nankai University's Regional Country Studies Center, said that the School of Foreign Languages at Nankai University currently has 9 language majors (directions) covering all the working languages of the United Nations and a complete talent training system for undergraduates, masters and doctoral students. It has multiple scientific research platforms such as the Chinese Culture International Communication Research Center, and has long-term training and transportation of talents in the fields of diplomacy, translation and foreign-related law for the country. Currently, the school is actively integrating its multi-disciplinary resources including law, business, etc., as well as its global alumni network, and is striving to build an overseas training and comprehensive service platform for enterprises to provide comprehensive services such as foreign culture and social etiquette, international communication, foreign-related laws, and political and economic risk assessment to state-owned enterprises and large private enterprises. He said that he looked forward to deepening cooperation with Jingsh Law Firm, China International Publishing Group and other institutions in the future. Through strong alliances, we can jointly build an academic think tank and foreign-related practical collaborative service platform to help Chinese companies protect their overseas interests and at the same time enhance the international brand influence of Chinese law firms and professional service institutions.
This symposium enhanced communication and mutual trust between Jingsh Law Firm, China International Publishing Group and Nankai University, and also established a platform for exchanges and cooperation for the coordinated development of international communication, foreign-related legal services, and international business. In the future, Jingshi Law Firm will take this symposium as an opportunity to continue to deepen the resource linkage with international communication institutions, university think tanks and domestic and foreign partners, continuously improve the international expression ability, brand communication ability and comprehensive service capabilities of foreign-related legal services, and demonstrate Jingsh Law Firm's responsibility in promoting the voice of China's rule of law to the world.
