China’s expanding economy has steadily integrated with the sophisticated market economies and capital markets of North America and Europe.  Today, Chinese, European, and American firms are frequently bound together in a complex web of business assets, contractual relationships, and obligations spanning multiple jurisdictions.  The prospective failure of Chinese firms is therefore a matter of international concern.

This article is a brief, preliminary effort to address that question, with particular emphasis on the EIL’s potential effect in the US legal system.
