How can one conduct administrative litigation involving foreign parties?

Jan 17, 2024



The Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China shall apply to expats, stateless persons and foreign organizations conducting administrative litigation within the territory of China. They are entitled to the same litigation rights and obligations as Chinese citizens and organizations. If a foreign court restricts the administrative litigation rights of Chinese citizens or organizations, Chinese courts will treat the administrative litigation rights of those citizens or organizations according to the principle of reciprocity. In cases of international treaties, China is a party to defer from the "Administrative Litigation Law of the People's Republic of China," the provisions of the international treaty will apply, excluding any clauses reserved by China. If an expat, stateless person or foreign organization entrusts a lawyer to represent him/her in administrative litigation in China, they must retain lawyers from law firms within the People's Republic of China.
