The arbitration system is a fundamental legal system in China and an important component of foreign-related rule of law. The Annual Report on China International Commercial Arbitration (2024-2025) released by the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission on the 16th shows that in 2024, 283 arbitration institutions across the country accepted a total of 767800 cases, a year-on-year increase of 26.4%; The total amount of arbitration cases in China is 1.21 trillion yuan, which has exceeded one trillion yuan for two consecutive years, an increase of 4.5% over the previous year. The Annual Report on China International Commercial Arbitration (2024-2025) was commissioned by the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission to be compiled by a research group composed of Renmin University of China. The report adopts a combination of empirical analysis and theoretical research methods. Based on a comprehensive analysis of data on China's international commercial arbitration cases in 2024, it tracks the construction of the China International Commercial Arbitration Center, international exchanges in commercial arbitration, and new trends in domestic and foreign commercial arbitration theory research, and continues to explore the key issues in the judicial review of China's international commercial arbitration. In addition, the report also provides a detailed review of the application of the Civil Code in the field of arbitration since its promulgation five years ago. It compares and analyzes the practices of different arbitration institutions in complex arbitration structures such as multi contract arbitration, additional parties, and merger arbitration, and focuses on the hot issues in construction disputes that have been the most frequently handled by arbitration institutions in recent years. Arbitration, as an internationally recognized method for resolving economic, trade, and investment disputes, has become an important means for countries to optimize their business environment and enhance their legal soft power. ”Wang Chengjie, Deputy Director and Secretary General of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, said that in the current era where countries around the world attach more importance to the development of arbitration and international competition is becoming increasingly fierce, Chinese arbitration institutions represented by the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission have achieved remarkable results in internationalization and professionalization. The international credibility and global influence of Chinese arbitration continue to rise, and the construction of China's world-class arbitration institutions has taken solid steps. The construction of international commercial arbitration centers has shown strong momentum. (New Society)
