This book delves into a comprehensive examination of Chinese cases decided by various Chinese courts, primarily from 2006 to 2010. During this period, the number of cases under the Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) gradually increased. However, despite this growth, the overall number of cases remained relatively low. Several factors contributed to this low figure. Firstly, parties involved in these transactions may not have been familiar with the CISG, leading them to opt out of its application. Additionally, the case collection and reporting systems in China at that time were not as developed as they are today, making many cases inaccessible.

To address these challenges, this book offers a detailed analysis of selected CISG cases. Each case will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, with an English summary of the judgments provided. The focus of the analysis will be on the approach taken by the Peoples Courts in interpreting and applying the CISG. Following the summary, comments from academicians and judges with international and comparative perspectives will be included to discuss the successes and pitfalls of the interpretation and application of the CISG in these cases.

By examining these cases, this book aims to provide insights into how the Peoples Courts in China have begun to navigate the complexities of the CISG and how they may evolve their approaches to its interpretation and application in the future. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in understanding the role of the CISG in China's legal landscape.
