During the thematic presentation segment, Attorney Liu Wei leveraged his extensive practical experience and profound theoretical expertise to provide clause-by-clause analysis of over a dozen key provisions in the Judicial Interpretation on Labor Disputes (II). He interspersed his commentary with real-world case studies, delivering content that was both accessible and thought-provoking.

Drawing on typical cases released by the Supreme People's Court, Attorney Liu meticulously analyzed critical issues such as the criteria for determining labor relationships, the allocation of employment responsibilities among affiliated enterprises, special rules for arbitration time limits, and principles for determining jurisdiction. Additionally, Attorney Liu extended his analysis to cutting-edge practical issues such as disputes over the calculation basis for double wages, the application of force majeure exemption clauses, rules for automatic contract renewal, and the validity of non-compete clauses.
