Traditionally, Chinese companies could avoid engaging in international arbitration because it was difficult to enforce international awards in China.

过去，中国公司会避免参与国际仲裁，因为国际仲裁裁决难以在中国执行。然而，近年来国际仲裁裁决在中国的执行情况有了很大改善。这一定程度上得益于中国最高人民法院实施的报告制度，该制度规定除非经最高人民法院批准，否则不得拒绝执行国际仲裁裁决。因此，随着越来越多的中国公司走向海外并与外国公司展开生意往来，当发生争议的时候，中国公司需要做好更充分的准备。
有观念认为中国公司通常无法在国际仲裁中取得成功。虽然事实往往并非如此，但由于文化、商业和法律习惯的不同，中国公司在国际仲裁中的确会面临一些障碍。本文将对可能导致该现象的原因进行分析，比如未在早期聘请法律顾问、未掌握适当证据、对国际仲裁程序不熟悉等等。同时，本文将提出若干解决方法，以便使中国公司在国际仲裁中占据更有利地位，从而取得成功。

解析《中澳自由贸易协定》中的ISDS条款：空头承诺抑或是对ISDS批评者的答复？
《中澳自由贸易协定》（ChAFTA）已经尘埃落定。中国和澳大利亚两国政府于2015年6月17日签订了这个具有里程碑意义的协定，但该协定仍需在两国完成必要批准程序之后才能生效。
该协定将大幅度放宽市场准入，并加深两国经济关系（更不用说澳大利亚政府和肉制品生产商希望通过此协定推动牛肉制品的大量出口了）。随着贸易与投资的增加，不可避免地会产生更多纠纷。本文主要讨论该协定中的投资者与东道国争端解决（ISDS）机制，该机制在协定中所占篇幅不长，却引起了媒体的广泛关注和争论。
本文将详细阐述ChAFTA中ISDS条款的起草过程及范围，并就该机制可能对中澳两国政府及各自投资者产生的影响提出我们的观点。
