This book explores and critically appraises the existing legal framework governing EU-China investment relations,particularly EU investment in China. The current legal framework is composed of Chinese law, EU law and applicable international law, but the Chinese law is unsystematic and hard to discover and the EU has acquired only shared external investment competence which is vaguely defined. The applicable international treaties are incomplete, incoherent, or either too general or too specialised. Besides this, the international fora to settle investment disputes are still not readily available. Furthermore while law has played a very important role in decision-making by EU investors, the Chinese legal system is generally perceived as ineffective and lacking in effective enforcement of court and arbitration decisions. What the book demonstrates is that the time is ripe for a new international legal framework for foreign investment in China, and that as EU-China economic and political relations continue to improve, construction of such a framework is not only necessary, but also possible."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aChina and international economic law series. 606 $aInvestments, European$xLaw and legislation$zChina 606 $2International economic & trade law 615 0$aInvestments, European$xLaw and legislation 676 $a346.51092 700 $aShan$b Wenhua$0313476 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824949703321 996 $aThe legal framework of EU-China investment relations$94116875 997 $aUNINA
