China held a symposium on Jan 17 in Beijing to discuss its first ever documentary on arbitration.

The symposium on the documentary, temporarily named Daguo Zhongcai, or the Arbitration of the Great Powers, was held at the China University of Political Science and Law.

Credibility is arbitration’s core, said Huang, adding that the development of arbitration should be quality-centered.

Participants in the symposium discussed the documentary from different angles and perspectives, including its significance to national and global governance, core elements of arbitration credibility, and arbitration from an international perspective.

Huang said the documentary, in a storytelling way, can help to build a positive national image.

It could also help China’s arbitration system, theory, ideology and vision of going global, he added.
