Hearing of Sany vs. Obama begins  

三一集团诉奥巴马案举行听证会 盼美方还清白

三一集团起诉美国总统奥巴马一案出现最新进展，28日美国首都华盛顿地方法院举行首场听证会，就案件涉及的法律问题听取双方辩论。

Washington (CNS) -- A preliminary court hearing of a suit by China's Sany Group against U.S. President Barack Obama started Wednesday in Washington.

Lawyers for Ralls Corp., a U.S.-based affiliate of Sany Group, and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) attended the hearing. After two hours of arguments, the judge did not issue a ruling.

On September 28, President Obama issued an executive order to block Sany wind farm projects in Oregon, citing security concerns. Sany then filed a lawsuit against Obama and the CFIUS on October 1.

Sany demands that the U.S. government clarify that our wind farm projects are commercial activities and not threats to security, Wu Jialiang, vice president of Sany and the person in charge of Ralls Corp., said after the hearing.

Sany also demands appropriate financial compensation, said Wu, who added that his company had suffered a direct loss of more than 20 million U.S. dollars.

Wu said they would fight to the end and take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court if they failed in district court.
