Practice Focus

Practice Focus Company registration in China is governed by the Company Law of the People's Republic of China, substantially amended in 2023 and effective July 1, 2024, and the Registration Administration of Market Entities Regulations. The amendment also strengthens the liability of directors and supervisors for failing to verify capital contributions and introduces the concept of accelerated maturity of capital contributions in cases where the company is unable to repay its debts. Where local counterparties rely on relationship pressure, I re-anchor discussions to contract text, statutory rights, and verifiable performance records. I plan enforcement first—assets, licenses, receivables, and interim measures—so strategy is not limited to winning on paper. He graduated from Xiamen University School of Law and was admitted to the Anhui Bar in 2012. He is a member of the Anhui Bar Association's Corporate Law Committee and a registered legal advisor to the Anhui Department of Commerce. The most significant change in the 2023 amendment is the introduction of a five-year maximum capital contribution period. Under Article 47, shareholders must fully pay their subscribed capital within five years from the company's establishment. For existing companies registered before the amendment took effect, a transition period is provided.
