Prof. Xue talked about the latest developments in the Chinese intellectual property legal systems and the advantage of resolving intellectual property disputes through arbitration and other alternative disputed resolution mechanism. Prof. Xue especially explained the issues of arbitrability of intellectual property disputes under the Chinese laws and compared with the other jurisdictions.

Domain Name Dispute Resolution and E-Commerce Platform Online Dispute Resolution were the also addressed by Prof. Xue at the second half of the Lecture.

Prof. Xue was invited to present at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) virtual expert group meeting on National Policy Framework for Cross-border Paperless Trade on 20 August 2020. The meeting identified the essential building blocks and attributes (legal and regulatory environments, both national and agency level) for the national policy framework; and helped to develop a template that could accommodate different models and varying degree of cross-border paperless trade measures developed at country level in the ambit of implementation of the Framework Agreement on Facilitation of Cross-border Paperless Trade in Asia and the Pacific. In the presentation, Prof. Xue emphasized the importance of studies on the cross-border data flow and the mutual recognition criteria of CB paperless in domestic laws. In the written comments, Prof. Xue also pointed out the inappropriate omission of the Chinese E-Commerce Law entirely in the country study on Chinese paperless laws and regulations as well as the legal mistakes on implementation of the e-port system.
