Trends in Class Action-Type Public Interest Litigation in China
By Richard W. Wigley KingandWood Mallesons’ IP Group
The framework for variants of class action-type litigation in the People’s Republic of China has been in place since the initial promulgation of the Civil Procedure Law of the P.R.C. (“CPL”) in 1991. The recently amended CPL provides requirements for filing a “joint litigation” for suits where “the object of the action is of the same category and a party consists of numerous persons” and where the parties may choose to elect a representative.[1] Further to whether standing is afforded the plaintiff and the filing requirements for such litigation, the CPL provides that “[t]he plaintiff must be a citizen, legal person, or an organization having a direct interest with the case … there must be a specific defendant … [and] there must be a specific claim and a specific factual basis and grounds ….”[2] Though with certain differences, the CPL provides a framework which allows for joint litigation which has similarities to what is commonly referred to as a “class action lawsuit”.

中港基金互认营造多赢格局
背景介绍
2015年 5月22日，中国证监会与香港证监会就开展内地与香港基金互认工作正式签署《中国证券监督管理委员会与香港证券及期货事务监察委员会关于内地与香港基金互认安排的监管合作备忘录》，同时发布《香港互认基金管理暂行规定》，自2015年7月1日起施行，初始投资额度为资金进出各3000亿元。
基金互认安排本质上是为内地与香港的资产管理业开辟新领域，给投资者提供更多元化的基金产品选择，这将促进更多资金在两地股市流通，对A股、H股证券市场形成中长期利好有很大助益。香港证券市场估值较低，在新的资金（内地资金）推动下或将迎来上涨；同样，境外资金流入国内市场也会增加国内市场中资金的供给，在目前国内市场的热度下，海外资金或将形成一种更加长期的助推效应。 Continue Reading 中港基金互认营造多赢格局

Opportunities and challenges for infrastructure investment in Asia
By Susan Hilliard and John Sullivan King&Wood Mallesons
Introduction
The combination of the two largest developing economies (China and India) in the world with other developing countries, as well as other established developed countries, makes Asia one of the leading areas for infrastructure investment over the next decade (2015 to 2025).
The Asian Development Bank estimates the demand at USD730 billion each year for the next decade.[2] In South East Asia alone an estimated $2.5 trillion in investment will be needed over the next ten years, with one third to be spent on transport, one third on electricity, and the remainder on water supply and sanitation, solid waste management, telecommunications and irrigation. [3] The appetite for infrastructure makes Asia a key region for infrastructure investors – offering significant opportunities for growth over the short, long and medium terms.

Opportunities for Singapore from the One Belt, One Road Initiative
By Xuhua Huang Haibo Mo King&Wood Mallesons
Since China’s ambitious ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative (“Initiative”) was first introduced in October 2013 by President Xi Jinping, the rest of the world has been playing close attention to how this major pillar of China’s economic policy will impact its integration with the global economy. It is being heralded as a blueprint for greater cooperation and integration through the development of an infrastructure network connecting all sub-regions in Asia, and between Asia, Europe and Africa.
In recent months, the Initiative has gained significant momentum with the unveiling of an overall strategic plan in March entitled “Vision and Actions Outlined on Jointly Building Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road” (“Vision and Actions”) by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce.
In particular, it places a strong emphasis on orienting the Maritime Silk Road towards the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), accelerating the development of the Initiative.

“一带一路”背景下的新加坡机遇
自中国国家主席习近平于2013年10月首次提出“一带一路”的倡议（以下称“一带一路”）后，全球各界纷纷关注作为中国重要经济政策的“一带一路”将为中国经济全球化进程带来何等影响。作为进一步加强国际合作、推动全球经济一体化的战略蓝图，“一带一路”的实施将积极推动连接亚洲各次区域以及亚欧非之间基础设施网络的形成。
最近，“一带一路”进一步获得了国家政策的力推。2015年3月28日，国家发改委、外交部、商务部联合发布了《推动共建丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路的愿景与行动》（以下称“《愿景与行动》”），对“一带一路”作出整体的战略部署。
《愿景与行动》特别提到将通过铺就面向东盟的海上丝绸之路，加快“一带一路”战略的实现与发展。
