Arbitration is vital for China Pilot Free Trade Zones (PFTZs). Though both of the Criminal Law and
the Arbitration Law have clauses on liability of arbitrator, the ambiguity is risky for foreign arbitrators. There are
three main theories on immunity of arbitrator in the world while China does not choose any one or set up a new
one. For PFTZs’ development, it is time to establish details on liability of arbitrator and arbitrator immunity.
