The Supreme Court sided Monday with a Chinese company that wanted a dispute with a Malaysian corporation heard in a court in China rather than in the U.S. The justices ruled unanimously that a U.S. judge can dismiss a lawsuit for the sake of convenience without first deciding whether the court has jurisdiction. The significant part of the dispute is "best left for determination by the Chinese Courts" and continuing the dispute in the U.S. does not serve judicial economy, wrote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
