中国双边投资条约中间接征收条款的隐患和对策研究

Study on the Pitfalls and Countermeasures of Indirect Expropriation Provisionsin Chinese Bilateral Investment Treaties

在当今“一带一路”建设不断深化的背景下,中国无论是作为投资者母国还是东道国都在国际投资领域占据着举足轻重的地位,中国和其他国家签署的双边投资条约在对于间接征收的定义方面存在界定不够清晰、仲裁管辖权存在争议、特别行政区双边投资条约适用混乱等问题,这埋下了中国国际投资争端的隐患。为维护国家投资利益和中国投资者的海外利益,亟需对间接征收定义开展研究,尝试从针对性界定双边投资条约中的间接征收、明确国际仲裁管辖的范围和创设新的争端预防与解决机制三个角度填补相关漏洞,为促进中国国际投资健康持续发展保驾护航。

In the context of today’s“One Belt,One Road”construction,China is playing a pivotal role in the international investment arena,both as a home country for investors and host country.Bilateral investment treaties signed between China and other countries are not clearly defined in terms of the definition of indirect expropriation,there are disputes over arbitration jurisdiction and confusion over the application of special administrative region bilateral investment treaties,which pose a potential problem for China in international investment disputes.To safeguard national investment interests and the overseas interests of Chinese investors,it is urgent to conduct a study on the definition of indirect expropriation,attempt to fill the relevant loopholes from three perspectives:defining indirect expropriation in BITs in a targeted manner,clarifying the scope of international arbitration jurisdiction and creating a new dispute prevention and resolution mechanism,so as to protect the healthy and sustainable development of China’s international investment.
