To thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important directives on prioritizing non-litigation dispute resolution mechanisms and litigation source governance, and to embrace the philosophy of addressing issues at their source and preventing problems before they arise, Dacheng has applied for membership in the multi-dispute resolution mechanism platform established by the BJADR, with the aim to fully leverage the foundational role of mediation in preventing and resolving disputes. Given Dacheng's diverse professional strengths, BJADR has granted Dacheng the establishment of three centers: Beijing Dacheng Real Estate and Construction Engineering Dispute Mediation Center, Beijing Dacheng Financial Dispute Mediation Center, and Beijing Dacheng Intellectual Property Dispute Mediation Center. Furthermore, a Litigation Source Governance Workstation, branded by BJADR, has been established within Dacheng to serve as the primary hub for case coordination and processing.

In his address, Ping Yunwang emphasized that professionalism is Dacheng's core competitive advantage, contributing significantly to its remarkable achievements over the years. The establishment of the Litigation Source Governance Workstation and three centers by BJADR at Dacheng demonstrates a high level of recognition for Dacheng's professionalism. Dacheng will uphold the responsibility that comes with this recognition and effectively implement litigation source governance.

The BJADR is the first provincial-level self-regulatory organization in China that provides service guarantees for sector and practice mediation organizations. Under the guidance of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee, the Capital Comprehensive Management Office, and the Beijing High People's Court, it was voluntarily initiated by mediation organizations in Beijing, retired senior judges, experienced professional lawyers, as well as experts, scholars, and mediators with legal backgrounds. It is a non-profit social organization registered and approved by the Beijing Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau. The BJADR aims to implement policies from the CPC Central Committee, the Supreme People's Court, and the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee to strengthen alternative mediation. It seeks to consolidate resources from sector and practice mediation organizations in Beijing, promote overall planning and self-regulation within these organizations, and enhance the professionalism, standardization, and authority of mediation, meeting the alternative dispute resolution needs of the public and creating an alternative mediation model that reflects the characteristics of the current era and the uniqueness of the capital.
