Welcome Guest

Few months ago, a district court rejected an appeal by a Middle Eastern expatriate trying to seek insurance compensation after a hit-and-run accident. In next week's Laowai Lowdown, we will talk to the expat's family, as well as car insurance lawyers to see what went wrong, and how you can protect yourself while driving in Shanghai. Do you have a question about insurance protection in Shanghai?

The first time I walked into Ryan Noreiks’ bar, a friend and I had just finished a larger-than-necessary meal at Sinan Mansions.
