The Legal Considerations of Doing M&A with Chinese Companies

Abstract

This Paper lines up the important issues which a foreign business or its attorney need to note when engaging in M&A with Chinese companies. In the context of either share or asset acquisition, China is bringing its rules more in line with the international standards. Nevertheless, certain specific points deserve attention

and should not be taken for granted, while many others are still undergoing evolution. Some most recent development such as VIE is also reviewed.
