“One Belt, One Road, Many Laws” Experts Talk Series

The “One Belt, One Road, Many Laws” Experts Talk Series aims to keep the policy, economic and professional communities informed of the latest knowledge and perspectives on China’s Belt and Road Initiative.  Each talk is delivered by an outstanding international expert on specific legal aspects of BRI in the context of transnational economic integration.  Professionals, policy analysts, investors, policy-makers and individuals interested in the BRI and transnational economic activities are welcome.

Talk 3: Belt and Road Dispute Settlement: Situating the China International Commercial Court

China’s Supreme People’s Court has established the China International Commercial Court (CICC) to hear international commercial cases, with tribunals based in Xi’an and Shenzhen. The CICC plays a distinctive and central role in resolving international commercial disputes that are related to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). How the CICC approaches its dual role as an innovative and institutionalised dispute resolution center in Asia, and as a China-based forum for resolving BRI-related disputes, likely will determine the CICC’s ultimate success.
