This book focuses on an article-by-article interpretation of the Foreign Investment Law of the People's Republic of China, which was adopted on March 15, 2019. It also describes the legislative process of the law and the relationship between the law and other laws and regulations. It also includes a comparison of China's new foreign investment law with representative foreign investment regimes and the interaction between China and evolving international investment rules and the law, with a focus on the impact of evolving international investment rules on the development of China's foreign investment regime. In recent years, the momentum of globalization has continued to grow, and a pattern of economic governance with valorization, regionalization, and benefit sharing has gradually emerged. Amid the emergence of new international investment rules, the Foreign Investment Law of the People's Republic of China, adopted on March 15, 2019, has significantly changed the face of China's foreign investment regime. Given that China is a major destination for global foreign direct investment flows, its foreign investment regime is a focus of attention for international investors and international lawyers. This book aims to provide a practical legal guide for students of Chinese law, especially Chinese business law, practitioners, and their clients interested in the Chinese market, and observers of international investment law and national investment law practice.

The European Union (EU) has now become the largest trade partner of China. While the Sino-US trade relations and particularly the high-profile trade disputes between the US and China get considerable academic attention for geopolitical reasons, very few researches have been done on the Sino-EU trade disputes that gradually loom large on the horizon. This book delves into the trade disputes between China and the EU and identifies the causes for trade disputes. It examines how the disputes will shape the China-EU trade relations, and offers a macro overview on how the issues can be resolved or at least how they should be managed.

This timely book sheds light on the Sino-EU trade disputes thus putting it in global perspective and enriches the literature in this regard.
