The reporter learned from the Ministry of Justice recently that in recent years, the level of foreign-related legal services in China has accelerated. At present, Chinese law firms have set up 207 branches in 37 countries and regions, of which 73 branches have been set up in relevant countries and regions jointly building the "the Belt and Road", and the number of foreign-related lawyers has reached more than 12000. The parties involved in foreign-related arbitration cases have covered over 100 countries and regions worldwide. The judicial administrative organs shoulder an important responsibility in the legal service guarantee and joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". By accelerating the cultivation of world-class arbitration institutions and law firms, they have built a comprehensive legal service platform for the "the Belt and Road", effectively strengthened the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of "going global" enterprises and citizens, and contributed to the rule of law for high-quality service and joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". As the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xi'an, Shaanxi has unique regional advantages in the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" countries and regions connecting Central Asia, Eastern Europe and other places. Among them, Xi'an International Port Station is the station with the largest volume of China Europe freight trains in the country. Previously, Slovak mineral water supplier B had never dealt with Chinese companies or transported products by railway. A certain investment group in Shaanxi has decided to seek a law firm in Xi'an that can provide relevant services in order to cooperate with Company B. After accepting the commission, our legal team developed a comprehensive service plan to assist both parties in resolving difficult legal issues Zhu Zheng, a senior partner of the "the Belt and Road" Lawyers Alliance Xi'an Representative Office and Shanghai Jintiancheng (Xi'an) Law Firm, introduced that after several rounds of communication and negotiation, the two sides reached an agreement on cooperation, and the products of Company B finally arrived in Xi'an smoothly by the China Europe Train. The "the Belt and Road" Lawyers' Alliance is an international lawyers' organization initiated by the All China Lawyers' Association and voluntarily joined by the lawyers' associations, law firms, legal institutions and individual lawyers of the countries and regions jointly building the "the Belt and Road". In recent years, members have engaged in in-depth exchanges on legal hot topics and difficulties related to multiple fields such as energy and infrastructure construction, and have provided high-level legal services in projects such as the construction of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor. Ma Hongwei, director of the Foreign Legal Affairs Office of the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Justice, introduced that the "the Belt and Road" International Commercial Legal Service Demonstration Zone in Xi'an has landed the China Shanghai Cooperation Organization Legal Service Committee Xi'an Center, the "the Belt and Road" Lawyers Alliance Xi'an Representative Office and other legal platforms and international professional organizations. The demonstration zone continues to provide legal services and guarantees around China Europe freight trains, international trade, and other related areas. For example, in collaboration with the China Europe freight train platform company, we have conducted research on the legal service guarantee mechanism for China Europe freight trains, focusing on the export of second-hand cars and new energy vehicles. We have proposed corresponding solutions in the form of 'interpreting the law through cases', "said a person in charge of the Xi'an Judicial Bureau. Arbitration, as an internationally accepted dispute resolution method, often becomes the preferred choice for parties involved in cross-border commercial disputes to resolve their disputes. In a cross-border trade contract arbitration application, the International Commercial Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation Chamber of Commerce found that the respondent's place of shipment was Guangzhou, Guangdong. Therefore, it proactively contacted the Guangzhou Arbitration Commission and forwarded the case filing materials to the Guangzhou Arbitration Commission. This is a case accepted by a foreign arbitration institution and tried by arbitrators using the 'Guangzhou Standards' abroad, breaking the boundaries of time and space, and conducted in the form of one case in three locations Wang Tianxi, the relevant person in charge of Guangzhou Arbitration Commission, introduced that in recent years, the world's first Internet arbitration recommendation standard (i.e. "Guangzhou Standard"), formulated and issued by Guangzhou Arbitration Commission, led the standardized development of global Internet arbitration and provided a Chinese solution for the development of international arbitration. Today, Guangzhou Arbitration Commission has signed a contract with 59 overseas arbitration mediation institutions in the "the Belt and Road" countries and regions such as Singapore, Hungary and Brazil to recognize and promote the "Guangzhou Standards". At present, it has been recognized and promoted by more than 10 arbitration institutions and organizations at home and abroad. As a forefront of reform and opening up, Guangdong strives to optimize the efficiency of commercial legal services, effectively reduce various legal and security risks faced by enterprises when exploring international markets, and assist enterprises in "going global". In Qianhai, Shenzhen, the Qianhai "the Belt and Road" Legal Service Federation, with Chinese lawyers as the main body, actively links overseas international legal service institutions and strengthens exchanges and cooperation in legal services across countries and jurisdictions. At present, the Federation has integrated the resources of more than 2000 Chinese lawyers in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and basically achieved full coverage of countries and regions jointly building the "the Belt and Road". The Federation also relies on Chinese language lawyer resources to build the "Global Legal Service" information platform, constructing a new supply chain for international legal services. In Nansha, Guangzhou, the "the Belt and Road" Foreign Law Identification (Guangzhou) Center has settled in Nansha Foreign related Legal Service Cluster. As of November last year, the center has received 123 inquiries or consultation requests from courts, lawyers, foreign investors, and other entities, serving over 40 countries and regions. The center has also set up an online platform for investigation, collecting and reserving laws, regulations, and portal websites from about 200 countries and regions, making it convenient for the public to query the required overseas laws and regulations on their own. "We actively set up various research platforms to study relevant laws, regulations and policies of countries and regions jointly building the the Belt and Road, and form research results such as legal service guidelines in the field of investment, so as to better serve enterprises and citizens' going global." The relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Justice stated. (New Society)
