I have not been involved in Chinese legal cases, but I've been involved in several US legal cases at various levels. I would recommend more tiers in the small claims system.
So under $10k, both sides present to judge 10 minutes each and a decision is given. No depositions other than questions at trial by judge.
$10-100k both sides present to a judge for up to 100 minutes. This can be a sped up version of each side presenting then getting turns to rebut and the judge asking questions. Online depositions, max half a day. Then a decision.
$100k- $1m 3 days or less of trial. Regular discovery questions, max one day of depositions.

$3m or higher... Regular civil trials.
