Investments from the Middle East into Mainland China are growing recently as many see increasing opportunities for returns.
However, there are risks that may materialize if investors become embroiled in a global dispute with Chinese companies.
Investors should consider ways to increase their leverage and expand their options, including by bringing disputes directly into China through Hong Kong.

Our Claim Monetization team analyzes what these developments mean to foreign judgment and award creditors looking for opportunities in a historically tricky jurisdiction.
