Praxair (China) Investment Co., Ltd. for the application for determining the validity of an arbitration agreement (大成产业气体株式会社等诉普莱克斯(中国)投资有限公司申请确认仲裁协议效力纠纷案), the parties agreed to refer their disputes to the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in Shanghai in accordance with its arbitration rules.

According to the applicable law (Chinese law) specified in the arbitration agreement, the court confirmed the validity of the arbitration agreement with the clause that “the arbitration shall be conducted in Shanghai by a foreign arbitration institution”, which facilitates the internationalization of arbitration of foreign-related commercial disputes.
