Abstract

As the globalization of economy accelerates greatly, more and more cross-border trade and investment is inevitably coming into being, resulting in many bankruptcy cases in which the relationship of creditor's rights and debts is no longer limited to the territory of a country. In recent years, the most influential case is the bankruptcy case of Hanjin Shipping. Hanjin Shipping’s bankruptcy has had a great impact on the international shipping market, the global supply chain has been interrupted, and a large number of commercial disputes have been triggered. The problems of insolvency international cooperation and the conflicts between bankruptcy and ship arrest proceedings in cross-border insolvency case have aroused widespread concern of experts and scholars in shipping. China has not adopted “UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-border Insolvency”, making the case more complicated to deal with the proceedings under jurisdiction of China. In order to deal with cross-border bankruptcy cases in China and better protect the interests of stakeholders, this paper makes a detailed analysis of the legal provisions on cross-border bankruptcy under Chinese law, and statistically analyzes the practice of Chinese courts in dealing with cross-border bankruptcy cases. Through a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences of legal provisions and practices between China and “UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-border Insolvency” and other typical countries, this paper puts forward some suggestions and countermeasures to deal with similar cross-border bankruptcy cases under the jurisdiction of Chinese courts in the future.
