As the coronavirus pandemic drove an increasingly larger wedge between the U.S. and China, Adams Lee, an international trade lawyer who represents companies in both countries, came to a disconcerting realization.
“My sense is there’s a growing disenchantment in the government structures. I talk to my clients in China and they’re used to that. They’re used to being lied to by the government. They expect it and deal with it, which is kind of shocking to me,” says Lee, who practices at Harris Bricken in Seattle.
