About the speaker:
Guangjian Tu is currently a Full Professor of Law in the School of Law of University of Macau, a life member of Clare Hall (Cambridge University), an elected associate member of the International Academy of Comparative Law, a Standing Council Member of Great China Judicial Studies and the Chinese Society of Private International Law. He is an editor for Chinese Journal of International Law and the global blog of www.conflictoflaws.net and regularly invited to review papers by international journals and publishers. He was qualified to be a lawyer and a judge respectively by sitting national examinations of the PRC. He formally started his academic career at the University of Macau in September 2007. Since then, he has been teaching and researching in the field of Private International Law, especially Chinese Inter-Regional conflict of laws. He is the Convener for the Special Commission on the Study of Chinese inter-regional Conflict of Laws. So far, he has published three monographs and tens of academic articles in widely-circulated international journals and core legal journals based in mainland China.
About the topic:
The last decade or so has witnessed China’s intensifying efforts to reshape its legal framework for international commercial litigation, which echoes its advancement of the “One Belt and One Road Initiative” and the policy of strengthening foreign-related rule of law. However, to this end, only piece-meal measures were adopted mainly by the Supreme People’s Court (SPC). The SPC, leading lower Chinese courts, has been zealous in advancing the reform for international commercial litigation by introducing such instruments as international commercial courts (CICCs), anti-suit injunctions, forum non conveniens and de jure reciprocity favouring recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Such attempts may help modernize China’s mechanism of international commercial litigation and more are still expected on the way. Although what the SPC has been doing is moving closer towards the global mainstream and on the right track, to go global, deep reforms are further needed for the Chinese regime of international commercial litigation.
