Bilateral investment between China and the EU has accelerated rapidly, with both sides seeking a mutually beneficial yet sustainable relationship. Limitations remain however, given that the current legal framework governing EU-China investments are restricted in terms of its regulatory scope. Taken together the fragmented patchwork of investment agreements between the individual EU Member States and China, most of which were concluded back in the 1980s, is in need of a comprehensive review. As such the developments that were facilitated during the EU-China CAI and the US-China BIT will be addressed with consideration of the conflicting perspectives. Given that Europe remains the most favourable destination for Chinese investors, a comprehensive agenda on existing and future investments and access to local markets is critical towards maintaining a progressive economic environment.
