What regulations are provided for in Chinese law of foreign arbitration procedure?
The Civil Procedure Law of the PRC dedicates one chapter to provide for foreign related arbitration. There is also a separate law named The Arbitration Law of the PRC. According to those rules foreign related arbitration disputes in China should be conducted in compliance with Chinese arbitration law. A regulation like this is indicative of the lex loci arbitri theory, i.e. that the parties cannot choose foreign law to be applied to an arbitral procedure conducted within Chinese territory.
