This book was released on 2007 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), China has undertaken stronger initiatives toward adapting its legal system to support the development of a market-oriented economy. However, in this important new study the author contends that Chinaand’s steps in this direction are not sufficient. Although barriers to merger and acquisition (Mand&A) targeting of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have been significantly reduced, excessive administrative intervention continues to discourage foreign Mand&Ainvolving domestic listed companies. This book proposes changes in Chinese law, including a new full-scale regulatory scheme, which would enhance and expand such foreign direct investment. The discussion proceeds from the perspectives of company law, securities law, antimonopoly law, and foreign investment law. Based on the analysis of the market situation and policy background in China, and on a comparison among the relevant aspects of the legal systems of China and other jurisdictions, the book addresses the Chinese legal system for foreign Mandamp;A involving listed companies, including its policy support. The analysis highlights such aspects as the following: and• features and structures of the current Chinese foreign Mandamp;A market; and• China's state-owned enterprise reform and• functions of the Chinese stock market; and• Chinese foreign investment policy; and• components of the Chinese legal system specific to foreign Mand&A; and and• comparative studies of foreign Mandamp;A regulation and experience (US, EU, UK, and Russia) and what may be useful in each for China. The authorand’s detailed recommendations for the improvement of the Chinese legal system primarily concern the regime of state ownership exercise, the establishment of an antitrust scheme, the improvement in the regulation of corporate takeovers, and national treatment of foreign investors under the WTO system. This is in every way a ground-breaking contribution to the literature of international trade law. The authorand’s deeply informed and cogent analysis will be of immeasurable value to policy makers and academics across a range of fields, and the bookand’s practical value to business persons everywhere with an eye on China cannot be overestimated.

This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This hugely informative book - unique in its overarching emphasis on the laws governing M&As and takeovers in China - not only shows those interested in investing in China how to avoid legal mistakes and miscalculations. In addition to offering singular interpretive analysis of strictly legal matters, the authors concentrate extensively on the all-important cultural and environmental factors that can make business in China daunting for the uninitiated. Extending this double emphasis on cultural understanding and M&A and takeover expertise, the authors clearly explain such elements of how to enter the Chinese market (or expand a presence in it) as the following: concepts of guanxi and mienzi; understanding China’s rising middle class; valuation of state-owned assets; maximum permitted debt-to-equity ratios; key PRC government agencies involved in the approval of transactions; taxation framework for enterprise restructuring in China; employees as an asset; share swaps; prohibited trading activities when acquiring a listed company; legal framework for dispute resolution; administrative proceedings; liabilities for breach of contract; and responding to intellectual property rights abuse. The authors provide precise details on the characteristics of, and procedures involved in, the wide range of investment options available in China, with knowledgeable guidance on the choice of investment options and protection of investor interests. Because China is clearly a major global economic force and will continue to be so in the foreseeable future, this thorough but down-to earth guide is of immeasurable practical value to foreign investors of every kind, from multinational corporations to individual venture capitalists.

Overall, the Chinese regulatory system is assessed to have a good level of compliance with the ICPs. The regulatory framework includes, in addition to the solvency standards, extensive requirements on corporate governance, risk management and internal controls as well as on reinsurance, disclosure and conduct of business. All these requirements are applied appropriately to the significant number of large insurance groups, which together account for the bulk of premium income. However, there is scope for further development of crisis preparedness and market conduct work.

Download or read book Mergers Acquisitions Review written by Mark Zerdin and published by Law Business Research Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mergers & Acquisitions Review, edited by Mark Zerdin of Slaughter and May, seeks to provide a richer understanding of the shape of M&A in the global markets, together with the challenges and opportunities facing market participants. This comes at a time when the international market has seen a boom in dealmaking, with many markets reaching post-crisis peaks and some recording all-time highs. Mega-deals have been at the heart of the expanding market, with companies tapping into cash piles and cheap debt to fund transformational deals. Looking behind the headline figures, however, a number of factors suggest dealmaking may not continue to grow as rapidly as it has done recently. This book examines this topic and more across over 55 jurisdictions, as well as providing more general interest chapters covering the European Union, European Private Equity, M&A Litigation, and Offshore Private Equity. Contributors include: Didier Marti, Bredin Prat; Heinrich Knepper, Hengeler Mueller; Javier Ruiz-Camara Bayo, Uria Menendez.

Download or read book Regulation of State Controlled Enterprises written by Julien Chaisse and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses actual and potential normative (whether legislative or contractual) conflicts and complex transnational disputes related to state-controlled enterprises (SCEs) operations and how they are interwoven with the problem of foreign direct investment. Moreover, SCEs also fall within the remit of international political economy, international economics and other SCE-related fields that go beyond purely legal or regulatory matters. In this connection, research on such economic and political determinants of SCE’s operations greatly informs and supplements the state of knowledge on how to best regulate cross-border aspects of SCE’s and is also be covered in this book. The book also aims to analyse the “SCE phenomenon” which includes a wide panoply of entities that have various structures with different degrees of control by states at the central or regional level, and that critically discuss the above-mentioned overlapping legal economic and political systems which can emerge under various shades of shadows casted by governmental umbrellas (i.e., the control can be exercised through ownership, right to appoint the management, and special-voting-rights). The chapters in this book are grouped, so as to address cross-border investment by and in SCE, into four coherent major parts, namely --- (i) the regulatory framework of state capitalism: laws, treaties, and contracts; (ii) economic and institutional expansion of state capitalism; (iii) the accountability of state capitalism: exploring the forms of liabilities; and (iv) regional and country perspectives. Contributions address the core theme from a broad range of SCE and international economic regulations, including but not limited to competition law, WTO law, investment law, and financial/monetary law. They also cover the new emerging generation of Free Trade Agreements (EU-Vietnam FTA, EU China investment treaty, Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership; and the coordination between treaty systems). The book is a valuable addition and companion for courses, such as international trade law, international law of foreign investment, transnational law, international and economic development, world politics, law of preferential trade agreements, international economics, and economics of development.
