Abstract

Involvement in international cooperation platforms is one of China’s key interests. One of the most important vectors of this policy concerns the promotion of high-level contacts between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, especially Angola and Mozambique, two of China’s most important partners in Africa. Macau plays an important role as an economic cooperation service platform between China and the Lusophone world. In this article we analyse the advantages of Macau as a seat for arbitration of commercial disputes concerning trade between Chinese, Angolan and Mozambican companies, and discuss possible avenues for improvement of the current legal framework.
