Abstract
This chapter examines how the intersection of economy, politics, law, and culture in contemporary China influences the choices and alternatives of EU businesses seeking to invest in China. Although China recorded a tremendous growth of its trade volume with other countries, the institutional and regulatory frameworks of the Chinese economy have proven to be at least challenging to EU businesses. In fact, several disputes have arisen and many of them have been dealt with in the WTO Dispute Settlement Body. The chapter elaborates on one of them to explain in which ways China may not be the easiest place to conduct business.
