China Strengthens Maritime Dispute Resolution System
China's Supreme People's Court on Thursday released a bilingual maritime adjudication report reviewing 2022–2024 efforts to expand China's judicial role in international maritime dispute resolution. Chinese courts handled 6,823 foreign-related maritime cases (6,071 concluded) involving parties from 143 countries, and more than 30,000 maritime cases were heard in 2024. The court says legal amendments, mediation, arbitration and AI tools aim to attract foreign litigants and streamline cross-border adjudication.

- 2Amended Maritime Law, Special Maritime Procedure, and Marine Environment laws to internationalize dispute resolution.
- 3Offers mediation, arbitration and litigation with AI-enabled access, prompting more foreign parties to choose Chinese courts.
