German-Chinese Judge Exchange Program

The dialog regarding the rule of law established between the Federal Republic of Germany and the People’s Republic of China in the year 2000 is an instrument of professional and political cooperation in the field of law and supports the reform process within the Chinese legal system. It is carried out at the highest political level, with judges only involved in passing. With its German–Chinese Judge Exchange Program, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, working in cooperation with the German Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit ("association for international collaboration" – GIZ), has closed this gap since 2011.
