I think the Northern Gateway is just an example. Chinese investors will probably be able to sue our governments for anything that they have an investment in that doesn't go their way. We just gave away some of our sovereignty to a dictatorship.
It's probably set up like NAFTA, where a supposed third party can rule on disagreements. From what I've read we've lost every NAFTA dispute so far and I don't see that we'll have any better luck with China.
