Start with direction, instrument and assets—not the creditor’s home country
Decide whether value must move into China, out of China or across several jurisdictions; then classify whether the file has only a claim, an arbitral award or a court judgment.
Decision guide
The recovery route follows the legal title and the assets it must reach.

Classify the recovery in five steps
The hub routes decisions; specialist spokes own the detailed procedure.
Separate foreign-creditor China recovery from Chinese-creditor overseas recovery.
Do not file in the familiar jurisdiction before testing whether its resulting title can reach the assets. Forum convenience and enforceability are different questions.

Open the route matching the title
Expanded answers are subject to legal review.
Is debt collection the same as judgment enforcement?
No. A contractual claim, arbitral award and court judgment require different procedural routes.
Should the creditor always sue at home?
No. Test clause, service, recognition and asset locations before choosing a forum.
Can one lawyer cover every destination?
Cross-border files often require coordinated counsel qualified in the proceeding and enforcement jurisdictions.
