The Revised Company Law — A Foreign Investment Perspective

On December 29, 2023, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (the "NPC") formally adopted revisions tothe Company Law of the People's Republic of China(the "Revised Company Law"), which will come into effect on July 1, 2024. China's Company Law was first adopted in 1993 and has since undergone several rounds of revisions over the last 30 years.
