What is the alternative dispute resolution in China?

In China, resolving disputes outside the courtroom is often preferred due to its efficiency and confidentiality. Various alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods are recognized and utilized extensively:

Arbitration: Arbitration is a prevalent ADR method in China, especially in commercial disputes. It involves a neutral arbitrator or an arbitration panel making a decision after hearing the arguments and evidence from both sides. Arbitration decisions are legally binding and typically final, offering a quicker resolution compared to traditional court proceedings.

Mediation: Mediation involves a neutral third party who helps the disputing parties find a mutually acceptable solution. In China, mediation can be either court-annexed, where it is part of the judicial process, or conducted privately. Mediation is highly valued for its role in preserving business relationships and its flexibility in solutions.

Negotiation: Direct negotiation between parties, often with legal counsel, allows for personalized and direct settlement of disputes. This method is used extensively in business contexts where parties seek to resolve disputes efficiently and maintain control over the outcome.
