She firstly introduced the basic information on the court, including its jurisdiction limits and the number of cases it has handled.

The BICC will concentrate on the goal of building a preferred location for resolving foreign-related commercial disputes and improving theoretical research and judicial practices in foreign-related commercial trials based on research, so as to provide high-quality judicial guarantees for the construction of Beijing’s high-level “Two Zones”, which are a national comprehensive demonstration zone for expanding opening-up in the services sector and the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone.
