It has taken more time than it should have, but corporations are finally waking up that dealing with Communist China is a poor deal with the devil. 

Recent security laws issued by the Communist Party totally ignore international legal standards of lawyer-client privilege and opens the door to a complete breakdown of trust between the attorneys and their clients.  The action by Denton is a bold move and should make every individual or corporation which does business in China seriously question their legal counsel.  If that counsel does not provide a solid, positive answer, change your counsel.  It is the only answer to give to the Communist government which disregards international norms.
