Moreover, international courts just approve or disapprove the national court's verdict, they can't sentence anyone themselves (unless it's an international tribunal considering a war). If the US court is wise, they're simply going to decline handling the process against a foreign government (they couldn't get anything anyway) and just handle the case of the rather small chinese company sued. If this company gets sentenced, it can simply refuse payment. Then they will have to sue it in China and also right sue the Chinese government in China. Some people across the pond didn't get to know it yet but the USA can not rule the whole world... However, the lecture of international law is schedueld for next term, so there are good chances that there are ways to get around normals regulations I have no idea of. Moreover, I'm not so familier with the anglosaxon law system. Well which international court could they call on for a civil sue like this one?

What really makes me wonder... what happens if this company really wins this trial? Even if they get a small sum like 1 Million. Will China really pay, or will the US government put visiting Chinese officials into prison until they pay? The what if scenario is so strange.

But the USA are the country of possibilities and so they might also "help" the Supreme People's Court and solve its cases^^ However, I don't think they're gonna win 2,2 Billion... if they're lucky, they might get a few hundrer Million. But that's nice money anyway^^ I’m not sure wether a foreign government can be sued abroad.
