Liang Zhenying: Mayer Brown was manipulated by the United States and Britain

Liang Zhenying posted a post on social networking sites, criticizing "Mayer Brown Law Firm is controlled by foreign powers and politically interfered. From now on, we will talk about politics with them." He believes that the pillar of the country’s death has been "political hype against China in the West and the United States." "I believe that Mayer Brown, as an established law firm rooted in Hong Kong, left the University of Hong Kong in American politics, questioned Mayer Brown’s manipulation by the United States and Britain, and asked how to treat its professional reliability and its business in Hong Kong and the Mainland. "Can state-owned and private enterprises continue to trust this law firm?"

Liang pointed out that Mayer Brown’s current global chairman is an American, and the global managing partner is a British. He called on Chinese-funded institutions, funding universities, and "all Chinese clients who speak dignity will immediately cut their seats with Mayer Brown."
