融资租赁公司为收回租金，经常面临一些共性的疑难问题，择其要者，解析如下：
《合同法》第二百四十八条规定：“承租人应当按照约定支付租金。承租人经催告后在合理期限内仍不支付租金的，出租人可以要求支付全部租金；也可以解除合同，收回租赁物。”在该规定中，立法所使用的“可以……也可以”的表述，其含义是选择适用的还是可同时适用的，实践中不无争议。为了统一司法尺度，最高法院《融资租赁司法解释》（下称“《解释》”）第二十一条规定：“出租人既请求承租人支付合同约定的全部未付租金又请求解除融资租赁合同的，人民法院应告知其依照合同法第二百四十八条的规定作出选择。”不难看出，该条规定在融资租赁公司所享有的收回全部租金与取回租赁物的两项权利上，坚持的是选择行使的立场。

ina cross border e-commerce has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 2 years since the PRC authorities encouraged the use of bonded zones. Some commentators have suggested the value of the business may have exceeded USD 3 trillion in 2015. The effects have not been limited to China as many international companies have seen their share price rise exponentially on the basis of the China e-commerce phenomenon. Cross border e-commerce moved from being a possible avenue to sell to the China consumer to THE only way to sell to China.
Just as everything was going so well, suddenly major concerns surfaced about the very future of cross border e-commerce in China. These concerns were due to a raft of regulations that were issued in April 2016 by a number of Chinese regulators including Ministry of Finance (“MOF”), General Administration of Customs, State Administration of Taxation, Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”), Ministry of Commerce, General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

由原劳动部、公安部、外交部联合颁布的《外国人在中国就业管理规定》已是96年的陈规，施行多年未进行修改。近年来，随着我国人才市场的国际化，各式各样的外国人劳动争议新型案件也层出不穷。无论是以就业证为核心考量因素的合法就业判断，还是近来社会舆论广泛关注的劳动合同法中的离职经济补偿金对于外国人的适用与否、以及由此引申出的企业与外籍员工自由约定劳动合同解除条件的司法认定，再到外籍员工离职时的经济补偿，都是值得从实践操作中进行总结提炼的典型问题。
本文选取了2015年上海市二中院(2015)沪二中民三(民)终字第7号案件作为切入，综合上海市的实务操作和相关案例的调查总结，对上述问题进行分析。
