中国是一个海洋大国,要想成为一个海洋强国,建设国际海事司法中心,必须提升自己在国际海事领域的话语权,使其立法与司法在国际上产生影响力。然而,目前中国海运“硬实力”的增长并没有同时带来“软实力”的增加,中国的海运立法仍相对滞后。对此,应完善我国海事司法体系,同时吸收他国经验,提高国际话语权和制定规则主导权。 China, as a large maritime power, wants to become a maritime power and an international maritime justice center must enhance its voice in the international maritime field and make its legislation and judiciary have an international influence. However, at present, the growth of “hard power” in China’s shipping industry does not bring about an increase in “soft power” at the same time, and China’s shipping legislation is still relatively backward. In this regard, China’s maritime judicial system should be perfected, at the same time absorbing the experience of other countries, raising the voice of the international community and formulating the rule of law.
