Summary
The past decade has witnessed a growing number of investor-state arbitration (ISA) cases based on China’s bilateral investment treaties (BITs). Given that China hosts many BITs that allow ISA and is a leading state in investment-exporting and investment-importing, China and its investors are likely to face more ISA cases. China’s ISA cases are not substantively different from others, but they give rise to a few systematic issues, relating to the applicability of Chinese BITs in the special administrative regions (SARs), state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and the interpretation of typical BIT provisions. China’s position paper on investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) reform suggests that it prefers ISA as a major ISDS option and supports the inception of a WTO-style appeal mechanism for ISDS. China’s position is based on its ISA and WTO litigation experiences and conforms to its development strategy.
