CHINA's foreign ministry said on Oct. 20 the International Mediation Institute, one year after its launch, has grown to 48 founding member states and has successfully mediated international commercial disputes, winning strong recognition from disputing parties. The institute is positioned as a platform for peaceful resolution of cross-border commercial disputes.

PBOC Deputy Governor and SAFE head Zhu Hexin said FX management now treats corporate cross-border autonomy and open-ecosystem construction within the same governance framework, prioritizing looser entity controls, ecosystem optimization, wider opening and improved governance to support China’s new development pattern. He said authorities will better align trade, investment and financing FX policies to help firms allocate onshore and offshore funds and run cross-border operations more efficiently. By end-June, more than 50,000 creditworthy firms could conduct FX business without prior review; in 1H they handled over $580 billion of FX transactions, and average processing time fell by more than half. Zhu said regulators will strengthen coordination with financial institutions and local governments, tighten incentive and constraint mechanisms to amplify effects, and introduce a "policy-ecosystem" dual evaluation mechanism to allow mature regions to pilot reforms and scale successful practices nationwide.
