How does the court serve litigation documents when the litigant does not have a domicile in China?
In accordance with Article 247 of the Civil Procedure law, regarding a litigant who does not dwell within the territory of the People's Republic of China, the people's court usually serves the litigation documents through diplomatic channels. If they can not be served through diplomatic channels, the court will use public notice as a way of serving the documents. After six months from the date of notice, the documents will be deemed to have been served.
