I. BASIC INFORMATION
A. History and Background of the Institution
The institution known today as CIETAC, or the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, was originally established on 2 April 1956 as the Foreign Trade Arbitration Commission, or FTAC, by the Central Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a part of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (“CCPIT”). The CCPIT was at that time a governmental body for the furtherance of Chinese trade promotion and was operating under the auspices of the then Ministry of Foreign Trade. The FTAC’s jurisdiction was essentially limited to hearing international trade disputes arising between a foreign company or other economic organization and Chinese companies or economic organizations.
With the adoption of the “open door” economic policy in 1979, FTAC’s limited jurisdiction clearly became inadequate due to China’s burgeoning economic relationships with other countries.
