Abstract
This article analyzes the risks that may arise for Russian companies in the event of applying to the state courts of the Russian Federation or China, or choosing an arbitration method for resolving a dispute with Chinese partners. The features of the recognition and enforcement of the decision in the PRC and the Russian Federation are determined.
In this work, it was found that when concluding a cross-border contract with Chinese counterparties, it is necessary to adhere to the following rules: in order to avoid difficulties an arbitration clause should be written with the consolidation of one of the well-known Chinese institutional arbitration centers; if the counterparties do not want to consider the dispute in arbitration, it can be advised to fix the prorogation clause on the resolution of the dispute in the Chinese state court, since the Russian courts are more willing to recognize the decisions of the courts of the PRC.
