Abstract
The China International Commercial Court (CICC) plays a crucial role in the context of the "Belt and Road" initiative, providing a platform for the fair and efficient resolution of international commercial disputes. Despite its strategic importance, the CICC faces significant jurisdictional challenges. These include blurred boundaries of case acceptance, insufficient innovation in distinguishing international cases, overly broad applicability due to exclusionary practices, and inadequate consideration of international investment disputes. This article thoroughly examines these issues and offers comprehensive solutions to enhance the CICC's functionality. Key recommendations include clarifying the CICC's positioning as a one-stop platform integrating mediation, arbitration, and litigation; refining the boundaries of case acceptance through detailed legal provisions and judicial interpretations; strengthening the standards for determining international cases to better reflect the complexity of international commercial activities; and enhancing the mechanisms for resolving international investment disputes. Addressing these challenges will improve the CICC's operational efficiency, bolster its international credibility, and better support the "Belt and Road" initiative.
