Chinese lawyers are making inroads into the global legal services market in response to growing demand from their compatriots abroad and a push from Beijing.

China’s GDP deflator – a broad measure of prices across goods and services – has been negative since the second quarter of 2023, while consumer prices have fallen for four straight months year-on-year.
