Where can a foreign related dispute be arbitrated?
For foreign related disputes, the parties are generally free to choose where to conduct arbitration. The parties could choose to arbitrate the dispute in China or elsewhere. It is also acceptable that the parties lodge their arbitration application with a domestic arbitration commission. However, we recommend that foreign related arbitration in China be referred to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) or in case of maritime related disputes, to the Chinese Maritime Arbitration Commission (CMAC).
