Understanding Chinese Company Law

A comprehensive and pioneering study, this hardcover volume of "Understanding Chinese Company Law" is offered in Good condition. This edition was published in 2006 by Hong Kong University Press and does not include a dust jacket. With China's dramatic economic growth and the burgeoning of private enterprise, both domestic and foreign, the intricacies of Chinese commercial law have become paramount. In this essential work, Professor Gu Minkang provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the major topics within China's commercial legal framework. Leveraging his extensive knowledge of Chinese, American, and European Union law, Gu adopts a comparative approach, enriching his analysis and significantly enhancing the reader's comprehension. Recognizing that Chinese Commercial Law is a dynamic field still in formation, the author begins with a historical introduction, tracing the evolution of the current legal landscape, discussing the factors that continuously shape its development, and indicating future directions. He then delves into core topics, including the nature and constitution of companies, the establishment of limited liability and joint-stock companies, the roles of directors and boards of directors, boards of supervision, and the often-overlooked influence of workers, the Communist Party, and company secretaries in corporate governance. The book further explores critical financial aspects such as corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and bankruptcy proceedings. Authored by Gu Minkang, an assistant professor at the City University of Hong Kong, where he teaches Chinese and common law, this up-to-date presentation is an invaluable resource. It is highly recommended for all involved in business with and within China, their legal advisors, and students dedicated to the study of Chinese commercial law.
