Dispute system reform

China will improve its arbitration system, enabling a more diversified dispute settlement system, according to a guideline published on Tuesday.

The guideline, jointly issued by the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, noted that arbitration is an internationally acknowledged means for convenient and efficient dispute resolution. It also supports the role of arbitration in ensuring social stability as it fully respects the wills of parties involved and offers a convenient and efficient way of dispute settlement.
