This report provides a detailed empirical survey of the dispute resolution landscape between Mainland Chinese and African parties with regard to international commercial arbitrations (including Belt and Road Initiative-related cases) in which HKIAC has been appointed as case administrator. Statistics and diagrams on the number and types of cases handled, the origins of parties to HKIAC arbitrations and the seat and language of those arbitrations support the commentary. The report concludes that the Hong Kong SAR remains a vibrant jurisdiction for African-Asian international commercial arbitration in light of HKIAC’s experience, its Administered Arbitration Rules and the unique advantages arising from the Hong Kong-China arrangements on interim measures and the recognition and enforcement of awards.
