In recent years, Chinese enterprises have embraced globalisation, going global actively by participating in international investment and trade as well as the investment along the Belt and Road. The changing geopolitical landscape, however, gives rise to regional turmoil, resurging trade protectionism, and increasing international economic and trade frictions. Chinese enterprises are facing growing uncertainties in their oversea expansion as well as more risks and challenges in defending their interests oversea.

In the proposals for the 14th Five-Year Plan, the CPC Central Committee announced efforts to improve the legal, policy and service systems for promoting and protecting oversea investment, firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises oversea, and implement high-quality bringing-in and going-global strategies. Strengthening foreign-related rule of law is an important measure for the advancement of the law-based governance strategy and is crucial to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises oversea. This not only requires further improvement of the foreign-related legal system but also requires enterprises operating globally to improve their awareness of legal risks and their ability to resist them.

With extensive experience in cross-border legal services, King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) has launched an oversea interests protection platform for enterprises. By integrating KWM's global resources, opening up business cooperation channels, and establishing long-term cooperation mechanisms, this platform assists enterprises involved in international trade and economic interactions in forecasting risks, building compliance systems, and effectively dealing with risks in their oversea operations.

Bringing together our lawyers’ in-depth insights on issues relating to the protection of Chinese investors’ interests oversea in the fields of oversea investment, international trade and commerce, and projects and construction, this Handbook provides solutions for enterprises’ risk control, compliance system establishment and international dispute resolution, as well as analyses and responses to various oversea sanctions and export control policies. We hope that this Handbook will offer some inspiration for readers.
