Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in China: Challenges and Developments

Abstract

The author analyses laws and regulations, current judicial practice, challenges and developments for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in China against the backdrop of the increasing growth of China’s investments and trade with other countries. He particularly focuses on the different legal and cultural stages of economic development and the rule of law as well as the lack of trust among jurisdictions, regions and countries. The author concludes that facilitating the reliable free movement of judgments for recognition and enforcement will benefit both China and its trading partners.
