#XinjiangCotton Incident: China's Lawyer Claims Termination Of Contract Due To Damage Of National Interest Would Not Require Any Compensation
As the Xinjiang cotton controversy continues to fester, many artists and celebrities including Eason Chan, Angelababy, Eddie Peng and Wang Yi Bo announced that they will terminate their endorsements with the brands involved in the incident.
The concern remains whether these actions are deemed to be in breach of the contract, and whether they will need to provide any compensation.
In China, a media outlet “Guancha News” quoted a Chinese lawyer explaining that artists can terminate their contrast without compensation by invoking the Civil Code’s “no abuse of civil rights to the detriment of national interest” provision.
The Hunan Provincial High People's Court in China also re-posted a short video on Weibo by “Legal Blogger”, saying that after the “D&G insult” incident, both parties will usually set a “misdeed clause” , where one party can unilaterally terminate the contract if the other party has made any “political mistakes”.
