Chinese food trade is expanding rapidly as the “Belt and Road” moves in an orderly fashion among countries along the route, and the food trade disputes among them are becoming more prominent. Due to the late establishment of the legal system of food safety in China, the food safety standards are not unified enough and un-satisfied with the international standards. In this regard, we should adjust the domestic food safety standards in response to international requirements on the basis of further improving the domestic legal system for food safety and security. Furthermore, this can also construct the legal mechanism of Chinese food trade dispute settlement from the aspects of establishing unified food safety and quality standards covering the countries along the “Belt and Road”, mastering the right to speak in the formulation of regional rules for food safety and security, and implementing the legal mechanism.
