China Law Blog

The Joint US - China Cooperation on Clean Energy Forum (JUCCCE -- Is that pronounced Juicy?) recently ended and China Environmental Law was there and has posted on it, in its aptly named post, "The Morning After." This post nicely summarizes went transpired and links over to various other sites for those who just can't get enough clean with their tech.

The post includes the following money quote, which near as I can tell from the many clients of my firm that are in the China cleantech business, could not be more true:

China will continue to be a “pilot program” heaven: if you have a technology, product, or service, you would like to test in a low-cost environment, you will probably be able to find a partner in China (as long as it doesn’t cost them anything) to help you test it. But remember, China still doesn’t have that IP protection thing down pat yet.

Do check it out.

UPDATE: In its post, "JUCCCE Clean Energy Forum–Closing Summary," The Green Leap Forward,' provides a transcript of the excellent and inspiring (that is the first time I have used that word on this blog) closing speech by Julian Wong, who is the author of The Green Leap Forward.
