With much fanfare, the United States and China have recently begun negotiating a high level Bilateral Investment Trade (BIT) that is intended to significantly increase reciprocal flows of capital investment in both countries. This capital can be used in invest in or acquire existing companies in the host sate by companies located in the investor state. The United States believes that a BIT will help “level the playing field” for U.S. companies because many lucrative sectors in China are either completely closed to foreign investment or are subject to restrictions. The United States believes that a BIT will bring new business opportunities for U.S. companies in China and will also encourage Chinese companies to establish new companies or acquire existing companies in the United States, leading to more American jobs. While the benefits to the United States are often touted, there is little analysis in the media or commentary about the benefits to China of a BIT. As China is a one Party state, China will not enter into a BIT with the United States for economic reasons alone but also for political, strategic, and policy reasons. This article identifies three key strategic objectives for China under a U.S.-China BIT: (1) expansion of the reach and power of China's massive state-owned enterprises; (2) acquisition of U.S. technology and intellectual property assets; and (3) evasion or mitigation of the effects of border measures imposed by the United States on imported goods from China. All three objectives are crucial to China's long term global strategy to become a leading power in international business and trade.

"This PIIE Briefing examines prospects for a US-China bilateral investment treaty (BIT) now that negotiations have revived. Launched in 2008 during the presidencies of George W. Bush and Hu Jintao, the talks faltered after the 2008 election of President Barack Obama, whose economic team had other economic priorities upon taking offi ce at the height of the Great Recession. The Obama administration spent its first years holding internal debates about trade deals that it had inherited.1 In the same period, they put the US-China BIT talks on hold while the United States revised the terms of what an ideal investment treaty should look like, a document known as the US model BIT. The internal US government review of investment issues was not completed until 2012. US-China BIT negotiations resumed in 2013; the 17th round of negotiations was held in December 2014. The essays in this study focus specifically on recent developments that could inform and possibly set precedents for the investment pact. They also examine issues that pose challenges to a successful negotiation could change with the successful conclusion of the negotiation of a US-China bilateral investment treaty (BIT)."--Introduction.

Since China adopted its 'open door' policy in 1978, which altered its development strategy from self-sufficiency to active participation in the world market, its goal has remained unchanged: to assist the readjustment of China's economy, to coordinate its modernization programs, and to improve its quality of life. With the 1997 launch of the 'Going Global' policy, an outward focus regarding foreign investment was added, to circumvent trade barriers and improve the competitiveness of Chinese firms. In order to accommodate inward and outward investment, China's participation in the international investment regime has underpinned its efforts to join multilateral investment-related legal instruments and conclude international investment agreements. This collection, compiled by award-winning scholar Professor Julien Chaisse, explores the three distinct tracks of China's investment policy and strategy: bilateral agreements including those with the US and the EU; regional agreements including the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific; and global initiatives, spear-headed by China's presidency of the G20 and its 'Belt and Road initiative'. The book's overarching topic is whether these three tracks compete with each other, or whether they complement one another - a question of profound importance for the country's political and economic future and world investment governance.

The Asian Yearbook of International Law is a major refereed publication dedicated to international law issues as seen primarily from an Asian perspective. This is the first publication of its kind edited by a team of leading international law scholars from across Asia. The Asian Yearbook of International Law provides a forum for the publication of articles in the field of international law, and other Asian international law topics, written by experts from the region and elsewhere. Its aim is twofold: to promote international law in Asia, and to provide an intellectual platform for the discussion and dissemination of Asian views and practices on contemporary international legal issues. As a rule, each volume of the Asian Yearbook normally contains articles; notes; a section on State practice; an overview of the participation of Asian countries in multilateral treaties; a chronicle of events and incidents; surveys of the activities of international organizations which have special relevance to Asia, such as a survey of the activities of the Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee; and book review, bibliography and documents sections.
