Barely a week ago on December 29, 2023, China's legislative body passed and President Xi Jinping signed into law the newly revised Company Law, effective from July 1, 2024 (the "New Law"). It makes a big splash to the business community for both the law's as-pillar significance, and the striking degree of revisions (over a quarter of provisions are involved with major changes). The New Law will bring about a broad spectrum of changes comprising shareholder capital contribution, shareholders' rights protection, company capital system, corporate governance, company registration, company financing, etc., which may make even just a spreadsheet of bulletin points run dozens of pages long.
