In plain words
After an adult loses capacity, the guardian is chosen in order: the spouse, then parents and children, then other close relatives, and last any other person or organization willing to serve. If there is a dispute, the residents' committee (居委会), villagers' committee (村委会) or civil affairs department (民政部门) makes the appointment, and anyone who disagrees can go to the court. While still clear-minded, a person can name a future guardian in writing. If the person under guardianship injures others, the guardian pays.
