In 1994, the Arbitration Law of the People's Republic of China was promulgated. In the modern sense, commercial arbitration has moved from the foreign-related arbitration of the Trade Commission to various fields of civil and commercial affairs. The administrative "100,000 industrial and commercial arbitration army" has withdrawn from the historical stage, and new domestic arbitration institutions have been set up successively. Over the past 20 years, China's commercial arbitration has developed vigorously. The number of arbitration institutions in China has exceeded 250. The number of cases handled and the amounts of objects dealt with each year have increased rapidly, making outstanding contributions to the construction of our socialist market economy. In the international field, China's arbitration institutions represented by the Trade Commission have become the new force of international commercial arbitration.

On September 7, 2018, the 13th Standing Committee of the National People's Congress announced that the amendment of the Arbitration Law of the People's Republic of China was included in the second category of legislative planning. Arbitration circles are jubilant and happy. The revision of arbitration law immediately became a hot topic of discussion in the 6th China Arbitration Week held in September 2018. How to form a complete system of arbitration in China and ensure the order of arbitration development; how to accurately locate the nature of arbitration institutions and establish a scientific governance structure; how to continue to develop and improve the social training mechanism of arbitrators, the standardization mechanism of arbitration industry, and the self-development channel of arbitration institutions; how to balance the responsibilities and obligations of arbitrators and arbitration institutions, and establish a more reasonable one How to strengthen the judicial protection of arbitration has become a topic of in-depth study and discussion by the legislators, arbitrators, judiciaries, lawyers, enterprises and academics in China. In this context, in order to explore and cultivate our country's international commercial arbitration professionals, to deepen the reform and legal amendment of our arbitration in the new era, to enhance the international competitiveness of our country's international commercial arbitration, and to promote the strategic process of building our country into an international arbitration center, the 7th China-Lun Cup International Commercial Arbitration Competition was launched.
