ABSTRACT

The denial of awards made by Chinese arbitration institutions by other contracting states’ courts reflects the adaptability of Chinese arbitral awards within the contracting states of the New York Convention. There are two main reasons for such denials: the validity of the arbitration agreement and violations of the principle of natural justice. Issues related to the validity of arbitration agreements are the primary reasons for denial. Overall, the denial of enforcement cannot be imputed to Chinese arbitration institutions. The incomplete implementation of international public policy principles by the courts of contracting states is also a significant factor causing repeated reviews of Chinese awards on the issues of arbitration agreement validity and procedural justice. Chinese arbitration institutions should emphasize the examination of arbitration agreement validity and the reasoning for arbitration jurisdiction, fully implement the agreement of the disputing parties, and actively create space for contracting states’ courts to apply international public policy principles.
