Political advisor: Sports should be incorporated into arbitration law

China's Arbitration Law, which came into force on Sept 1, 1995, is being discussed by the public after the Ministry of Justice released proposed revisions to the law for public consultation.

Wang Yanxia, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the sports department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, said that the jurisdiction of China's arbitration authorities should be further expanded to include more disputes, such as those involving intellectual property rights, international investment, sports, and anti-monopoly.
