Chinese delegation to visit Columbus, explore investment opportunities in Ohio businesses

The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.Members of the China International Economic Trade and Arbitration Commission (CIETAC), the most important arbitration institution in China, will visit Columbus on Dec. 6-8, 2007 to explore investment opportunities in Ohio businesses. This is the first time a delegation of this magnitude has visited the Midwest, and is the only visit of its kind this year. CIETAC, headquartered in Beijing, is the central point of resolution for business litigation and disputes in China. More than 700 cases are filed with the commission each year, and CIETAC is frequently sought by both domestic and international parties as the institution for dispute resolution because it is both efficient and cost-effective as an impartial and independent center for resolving economic and trade disputes through arbitration and mediation. CIETAC was set up more than 50 years ago under the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT).Mershon Center for International Security StudiesOhio State University.
