2024 marks the 30th anniversary of China’s Arbitration Law with a major amendment to the Arbitration Law set to be reviewed by the Standing Committee of National People’s Congress later this year. This presentation focuses on three key legal issues, inter alia, the arbitrability, ad hoc arbitration, and the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. It will first provide a brief history of China’s arbitration legislation and practice and highlight recent developments involving foreign-related arbitration. It then assesses how the amendment aligns with international arbitration practices and rules and other domestic laws, namely, the Civil Procedure Law. It will conclude by evaluating how the amendment enhances the credibility and influence of China’s arbitration and contributes to the creation of a market-oriented, rules-based, internationalized business environment.
