You are an American company expanding its business into China. You have just clinched a highly coveted multi-million-dollar deal, documented in a one hundred-page contract that seems to cover every conceivable hiccup. But that lucrative deal, which took months to close, may not be as airtight as you imagine. If a dispute arises between your company and your Chinese business partner, how can you resolve it? The Chinese business may have assets in China, but again it is difficult to enforce a US judgment in China: The two superpowers do not yet have reciprocal arrangements to recognize judgments from each other’s courts.
