INTRODUCTION While many esteemed authors focus their attention on the grounds on which a court may refuse to enforce a foreign or foreign-related arbitral award in the People's Republic of China ('PRC' or 'China'), it seems that little attention is paid to the procedure for enforcement of an award, whether it be foreign or foreign-related. This is, on the one hand, somewhat surprising given that the concern of many businesses when entering into an arbitration agreement with Chinese counterparties is not only whether, but also hovxv they will enforce any resulting arbitral award against Chinese assets in the PRC. In light of this, this paper begins by explaining the difference between foreign and foreign- related arbitral awards in the PRC today then steps through and analyses the mechanics of the enforcement procedures before concluding that the current enforcement procedure is in need of reform and making recommendations in this regard.
