The National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) passed a significantly revised version of the Company Law on 29th December 2023, which will enter into force on 1st July 2024. This timing coincides closely with the expiration of a five-year grace period for foreign-invested companies to adjust to China’s Company Law by the beginning of 2025. This grace period began when the Foreign Investment Law (FIL) came into force on 1st January 2020.

The revised Company Law presents several new requirements for businesses, including updates to capital contribution rules for limited liability companies (LLCs), new diligence requirements for management and supervisors, and the requirement of an employee representative on boards of directors of some companies. It also includes new options for companies, such as the ability of companies with a small number of shareholders or a small scale of business to have no supervisor, the option for an audit committee in lieu of a supervisory board or individual supervisors for LLCs and greater freedom to choose which personnel can serve as legal representative.

During this seminar, participants will gain valuable insights as the experts delve into the intricacies of the New Company Law, offering expertise on the challenges faced by foreign-invested companies in China, with focus on limited liability companies. The discussion will focus on common issues and specific challenges encountered by foreign companies operating in China.

On March 5, 2024, Premier Li Qiang delivered the <<Report on the Work of the Government>> at the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress of China. Globally, economic recovery was slow, with increasing geopolitical tensions and rising protectionism. Domestically, China faced challenges in economic recovery due to the prolonged impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, exacerbated by existing structural issues and emerging risks in areas such as real estate and financial institutions.

In response to these challenges, the government outlined its tasks for 2024, including issuing ultra-long-term special government bonds and opening up new tracks in emerging fields like quantum technology and life sciences. Additionally, China plans to implement measures to further open up its economy, such as relaxing market access restrictions and promoting cross-border services trade.

To delve deeper into these issues and their implications for businesses, the European Chamber is pleased to host Mr. Xu Sitao, Chief Economist and partner at Deloitte China, to share his insights and forecasts on the economy. Mr. Xu brings extensive experience, having previously served as Chief Representative of China and EIU Forecasting Director at the Economist Group. We will also provide an opportunity for members to introduce themselves and engage in discussion.

China's ESG regulations have developed significantly in recent years setting mandatory framework for certain industries. With the revised Company Law stipulating that companies, when doing business, shall “fully consider” the interests of their employees as well as environmental protection, and are encouraged to publish social responsibility reports, it becomes clear that companies need to ensure their compliance also in the ESG area. The developing ESG legal framework makes it difficult for companies to maintain a detailed and comprehensive overview.
