Of course, IANAL.
The bigger problem with DCC as compared to CCF with regard to a possible class action is that in the case of DCC, there are thousands of infringing parties (as opposed to 3 or 4 in the case of CCF). Furthermore, I imagine the companies like Bank of China would simply ignore any judgments against them.
