International Investment Law at a Crossroads: What role for China?

By IISD on July 8, 2013

On April 24, 2013, IISD, together with its local partner Global Environmental Institute, convened a roundtable workshop entitled "International Investment Law at a Crossroads: What role for China?" in Beijing.

The workshop aimed to discuss how to address the institutional and systemic challenges in the investment treaty framework in order to find a balance between investors' interests and states' policy space. In light of China's position as both host state and home state, the quest for more balance and sustainable development is particularly relevant. Thirty participants from the Chinese government, academia and selected enterprises attended the workshop.
