"If people in China want to sue Tencent, Alibaba, Huawei and other giants, is it possible to win the case?" This is the question that has been circling in my mind while watching "Black Water"
There is a type of movie that everyone is familiar with called "based on true events". A lawyer named Robert Bilott sued the chemical giant DuPont. The latter's Teflon produced cancer and poisoned employees and consumers around the world. DuPont deliberately Concealment continues to be produced on the assembly line and sold all over the world. Anyone familiar with Marx's proposition knows that capitalists "can trample all laws for 100% profit and commit all crimes for 300% profit", but you can't sue it, So you can domineeringly threaten "Sue me", trample on life, trample on human rights, and the law that the protagonist is proud of can't solve the problem, we protect us, we do
"Blackwater" itself is quite satisfactory, and the anti-climax narrative is mixed with American heroism, but the practical significance of this real event is far greater than the film itself. Among the "big-headed baby" victims of Sanlu Milk Powder, many of them have not been able to receive reasonable compensation because of their illness. Some parents have even been sued for extortion because of their claims. The three-time commutation of the chairman of Sanlu Milk Powder has been reduced from indefinite to 9. In 2008, after avoiding the poisonous milk powder and encountering the problem vaccine of Changchun Biotechnology, as ordinary people, what else can we do? A wave of public criticism + moral condemnation, but the person in charge of Sanlu has to be released from prison with a commutation, and the living victims have to bear those negative effects for life. But sadly, you can hardly say that this only happens in China. This is not only a problem of unscrupulous entrepreneurs in China, but many news just confirm Marx's profound insights on capital over and over again.
Going back to the question at the beginning, ordinary people in China want to sue the giants, can they win? I am afraid that this kind of behavior of the cockroach smashing the tree will be strangled in the cradle by interest groups before resorting to the newspapers, but can we have our "Black Water", "Black Milk Powder" and "Black Vaccine"?
