Keywords:

Over the past decade, Chinese state-owned entities have increasingly invested abroad as part of the implementation of the People's Republic of China Government's Belt and Road Initiative and the “Made in China 2025” strategic plan. As the volume of investment increases, the risk of infringement of Chinese state-owned investors' rights is also growing. In this article, the author analyzes whether Chinese state-owned companies controlled by the People's Republic of China have the right to initiate international investment arbitration against the host state, and concludes that to answer this question it is necessary to analyze the circumstances of investment in each specific investment project.Agencies
