CIETAC established a hearing center in Kunshan

The Chinese International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) Jiangsu arbitration center recently inaugurated a hearing center in Kunshan, a county-level city in East China's Jiangsu province. 

Located in the core area of the Yangtze River Delta region, Kunshan has ranked first among China's Top 100 counties for 17 consecutive years. The establishment of the hearing center, the first in the country that has been established in a county-level region, was approved in December 2021 as part of the city's efforts to further improve its law-based business environment.  

The center will provide consultation on arbitration procedures and offer remote or on-site hearing services for the cases that are agreed to be submitted to the CIETAC or its Jiangsu arbitration center and to be arbitrated and heard in Kunshan.

The center will spare no efforts to provide professional and international-standard arbitration services for Chinese and foreign parties in Kunshan and its surrounding areas and improve its level of commercial legal services.
