China In Africa And The Law, Salvatore Mancuso
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
This paper is based on the enormous amount of Chinese investments in Africa, with the objective of considering the legal aspects involved therein. Under international business law, commercial relations are usually ruled according to the law of the country hosting the investment.

The Ninth Circuit interpreted the key language of the relevant provision to permit removal whenever there is an arbitral award or agreement that “could conceivably affect the outcome of the plaintiff’s suit.”
