2. Court's review of the application: The court will review the application and decide whether to approve the appointment of a guardian by considering the defendant's situation, the applicant's wishes, legal provisions and other factors;

3. Appointing a guardian: If the court considers it necessary to appoint a guardian, the court will appoint a suitable person as a guardian and notify the guardian to participate in the proceedings;

4. Guardian's participation in litigation: The designated guardian will participate in litigation procedures on behalf of the defendant, exercise relevant rights and interests, and perform guardianship duties.

To sum up, prosecution and arbitration have their own advantages and disadvantages and are applicable to different types of disputes.

Arbitration is usually applied to cases where both parties want to settle disputes quickly, privately and flexibly, especially in the field of international business.
