ABSTRACT

How to ensure the security of various types of investments by China and other countries in countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative has become a big concern in encouraging and attracting investors. Bilateral investment protection agreements (BIPAs) are the most important investment regulation, protection and promotion tool in the world. To resolve investment disputes, the international community has gradually put in place a mechanism based on arbitration, which has the advantages of rapidness, confidentiality and autonomy.
