In his speech, Wang Jinzhen associated China’s annual GDP growth rate above 10% in 10 consecutive years since joining WTO with its perseverance in reform and opening up, as well as its increasing efforts in IPR protection. He briefed the audience about China’s progress in IPR legislation and the enforcement of relevant laws in recent years, as well as its significant growth of intellectual property products. Wang emphasized that China, ever since joining World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 1980, has managed to complete what developed countries spent over 100 years doing within 30 years. Over the years, as the oldest full-service intellectual property institution and the earliest one to promote the establishment of the patent system in China, CCPIT has made significant contribution in spreading the idea of and promoting IPR protection. However, it is undeniable that there is still space for improvement. Along with the implementation of the blueprint for China's future development established during the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as well as its growth into an innovative country, China will make continuous progress on IPR protection, and further strengthen its communication and collaboration with the U.S. and other countries on IPR protection and innovation.

With its headquarters in Beijing, CIETAC has also set up its sub-commissions respectively in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing and Hong Kong to support the economic developments of special economic zones, key areas and sectors and special administrative regions in China. CIETAC’s nearly 20,000 concluded arbitration cases totally have involved parties from more than 70 countries and regions.

CIETAC also actively engages in developing alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in addition to arbitration in order to provide parties with professional services. CIETAC Online Dispute Resolution Center (ODR Center) provides dispute resolutions with regard to domain names and other online disputes. CIETAC established its Investment Dispute Resolution Center to provide mediation services to investment compensation disputes arising from cross-strait investments. In order to avoid, reduce and resolve disputes arising from the construction sector CIETAC issued the Construction Dispute Review Rules in 2010. CIETAC also issued the Financial Dispute Arbitration Rules in early 2003 to promote its arbitration services in the financial sector.
