Abstract: Witness for the Prosecution is a legal film produced in the 20th century. For its analysis, many legal commentators have explored issues such as “the system of tainted witness” from an internal perspective. However, this perspective ignores the understanding of legal phenomena in other fields, thereby leading to numerous doubts. By means of logical analysis, this paper uses the theory of “alienation effect” in drama to explore the reason for the protagonist’s victory: the application of the “alienation mode”. Thus, this paper clarifies the application conditions of this strategy to help lawyers play an effective role in actual trials.

Abstract: As a result of the development of the “One Belt One Road” and the strategy of “Going Out” for multinational enterprises, China’s outward direct investments have grown rapidly. During the transformation period from a capital-importing to a capital-exporting country, issues of legal barriers, investment risks and insufficient investment disputes mechanism on China’s outward investment to Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) have surfaced. Although ASEAN countries and China agreed on further liberalization in investment, the effects of investment agreements and Bilateral Investment Treaties on risk prevention and safeguarding investment interests have rarely been discussed and examined via empirical studies. In examine legal barriers, major investment risks, and investment dispute settlement mechanisms of China’s multinational enterprises in ASEAN States, this study selects 30 state-owned enterprises and private companies among 300 Guangdong businesses, which largely invested in ASEAN via data analyses, surveys, and interviews. Nevertheless, the obstacles in investment treatment and high political risks as a result of outward investment in ASEAN suggest that China’s multinational enterprise should start to seek multiple investment insurance either from Sinosure or the international financial institution, or advancing investment treaties and formulating a “Going-in ” strategy. The findings of this research provide a reference to Chinese multinational enterprises for the investment protection and for the launching of investment litigation of these Chinese multinational enterprises whenever it is required.
