  • Doing Business in China
    Doing Business In China DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA INTRODUCTION On January 1, 2020, the Foreign Investment Law of the People’s Republic of China and its implementing regulations became effective, ending an era of thirty years during which foreign investment in China was dominated by a series of legislations specifically formulated for foreign-invested enterprises (“FIEs”). This paper provides in detail the evolution of the Chinese legal system with particular emphasis on an up-to-date overview of the current status of the law, policy, and practice relating to foreign investment in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”, which, for purposes of this paper, excludes the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan). This paper also discusses the relevant considerations involved in choosing the form of doing business in China, identifies major issues confronting potential foreign investors, and presents the legal requirements and practical issues associated with various methods of investment from establishment to exit.

    7th Edition of 2017 Legal Updates 1. New Trends in Overseas Investment Administration Issued 2. New Bike-sharing Rules: The Role of Government, Operators and Users HAN KUN LAW OFFICES . BEIJING . SHANGHAI . SHENZHEN . HONG KONG www.hankunlaw.com Legal Updates 1. New Trends in Overseas Investment Administration (Authors: Gloria XU, Claire XIAO) On August 4, 2017, the Guiding Opinions on Further Guiding and Regulating the Direction of Overseas Investment (Guo Ban Fa [2017] No. 74) " (the “Guiding Opinions”) was jointly promulgated, with the approval of the State Council, by the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), the People's Bank of China (“PBOC”) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (“MFA”). The Guiding Opinions have drawn wide attention by further categorizing overseas direct investments as “encouraged,” “restricted” or “prohibited” based upon the previous “negative list” for overseas direct investment. In this article, we will summarize the main content of the Guiding Opinions by comparing them to the existing principles governing overseas direct investment in light of recent trends related to the supervision of overseas direct investment. Existing approval and filing system for overseas direct investment On September 6, 2014, MOFCOM promulgated the Measures for the Administration of Overseas Investment (MOFCOM Order [2014] No. 3) (“Administrative Measures”), which enacted a “primary filing, supplemental approval” regulatory system for overseas direct investment, and provided that, based upon specific circumstances, overseas direct investment must be filed with or approved by the government. Under the Administrative Measures, overseas direct investment projects that are not referenced in the “negative list” need only to be filed with MOFCOM or its counterparts at the provincial level.

  • Private Equity Law
    January 9, 2013 Private Equity Law Shenzhen Launches its QFLP Pilot Program James WANG︱Yuan LIN The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has always been one of the most important Chinese cities for private equity funds. On June 27, 2012, the State Council promulgated the Reply of the State Council on Policies Supporting the Development and Opening-up of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone (《国务院关于支持深圳前海 深港现代服务业合作区开发开放有关政策的批复》)(Guo Han [2012] No.58) (the “State Council Reply”). The State Council Reply supports the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone’s (“Qianhai”) pioneering policies on financial reform and innovation, which makes Qianhai into a so-called “special zone of the special zone” and brings new opportunities for the further development and innovation of private equity funds in Shenzhen. In the first step of implementing the State Council Reply, Shenzhen pushed for the development of foreign-funded equity investment by promulgating The Interim Measures for the Launching of a Pilot Program for Foreign-funded Equity Investment Enterprises in Shenzhen(《关于本市开展外商投资股权投资企业试点工作的暂行办法》) (Shen Fu Jin Fa [2012] No.12) (the “Interim Measures”) on November 26, 2012. Jointly formulated by the Shenzhen Financial Services Office, Shenzhen Economy, Trade, and Information Commission, Shenzhen Market Supervision Administration, and Qianhai Administration Bureau, the Interim Measures indicate that the QFLP program of Shenzhen has now officially begun. The Shenzhen QFLP program has many similarities with the Shanghai QFLP program with regard to the threshold for the limited partners of pilot foreign-funded equity investments, while being silent on the quota of the settlement of foreign exchange for investment purposes.

Commentary on Supreme Court’s Guiding Opinions on Similar Cases Authors: Yan WANG 丨 Muran SUN On July 27, 2020, the Supreme People’s Court published the Guiding Opinions on Unifying the Application of Law and Strengthening the Research of Similar Cases (for Trial Implementation) (“Guiding Opinions”). The Guiding Opinions signal a significant move made at the national level to ensure the consistency of judicial practice in China. Notably, the Guiding Opinions provide a clear definition, scope, and hierarchy for similar cases, which serve as essential guidance for China’s judiciary. Among the similar cases the Guiding Opinions define, de facto binding effect is given only to guiding cases published by the Supreme People’s Court, while other similar cases serve only as references for adjudication (Article 9). Aside from this, the Guiding Opinions also specify when and how the research of similar cases should be conducted (Articles 2-3, and 5-11), and request lower courts to take measures to enhance case research work (Articles 12-13). The Guiding Opinions will become effective on July 31, 2020 (Article 14). Among the high courts, the Beijing High People’s Court and the Jiangsu High People’s Court have also published guidelines on the research and use of similar cases.
