Especially in its field of trade, more and more business people tend to contract
7、with foreigners. A contract is an agreement giving rise to obligations which are enforced or recognized by the law 11. Since all the parties need contracts to restrict each others behavior and protect their own legal rights and benefits, international business contract is now playing an important ro

A Survey of International Business Contract2.1 Definition of International Business ContractIn the modern commercial society today, contracts ha

While in China, Article 2 in Contract Law of the Peoples Republic of China (1999) gives its own definitio

Generally speaking, an international business contract can be valid under the following three situations: A. Contract should be deemed as a business contract B. One or more contracting parties do not have Chinese nationality C. The contractual subject matter shall be shipped across the border of China662.2 Categories of International Business ContractSo far as a certain country is concerned，a bu
