The defendant satisfied the court that justice could be done in Hong Kong at substantially less inconvenience and expense and that the plaintiff had no juridical advantage from the Kun Ming proceedings that could not be addressed in Hong Kong; balancing the interests (personal hardship, likely delay in China, and absence of juridical necessity) required restraint of the Chinese proceedings until final disposal of the Hong Kong action, while the Hong Kong action should continue.
