Recenzii

"This book provides readers with an examination of Chinese international investment law–both inside and outside, both retrospective and prospective, both descriptive and constructive. Chinese investment law has been widely recognized as having increasing implications on international investment law as a whole, though it is too early to draw a definite conclusion as to the extent and nature of such implications. In some sense, it is this uncertainty that endows this book with a fantastic reading value." - ICSID Review

"The book makes an important contribution to the recent literature on China’s role in the international investment law regime, which includes International Investment Law: A Chinese Perspective by Guiguo Wang (2014) and Chinese Investment Treaties: Policies and Practice by Wenhua Shan and Norah Gallagher (2009). It will be of use to students, academics, and practitioners alike in explaining China’s evolving participation in the international investment legal regime and likely future developments.” - Kate Apostolova and Lexi Menish, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer
