Arbitration Council in China

The Chinese Governments have started extending their reforms programme which was a farcry in the early stages of the communist regime. They have progressed at amazing speeds and attained unbeliveable heights at a short period of time largely due to their strong desire and will to bring reforms, added by strict enforcement methods. The latest development in constituting Arbitration Councils to clear of disputes relating to land especially in rural areas are a welcome approach. Often the people are at the recieving side in cases pertianing to cultivation of farmland which is still given as a lease for a period of time (10 years). The Government had brought out significant changes to the same and are making it more transparent and efficient by constituting Arbitration Councils. It is left to the Government to decide how they are going manage it.
