About CIETAC
The China International Economic Trade and Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) is the most important arbitration institution in China.
CIETAC independently and impartially resolves economic and trade disputes by means of arbitration and mediation. Since it was founded in 1956, CIETAC has administered more than 10,000 international arbitration cases. More than 700 cases are filed with CIETAC each year, most of which are international.
CIETAC’s headquarters is in Beijing with two sub-commissions in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Its organization includes a chairman, several vice-chairmen, and a panel of more than 1,000 arbitrators who are internationally recognized experts in arbitration or in a particular trade.
CIETAC arbitration is marked by its unique combination of arbitration with mediation, which not only resolves disputes, but also renews positive business and personal relations between the parties.
