[Background 背景]

With over four decades of foreign-funded enterprises entering China, accompanied by China’s opening-up policy and active promotion of foreign investment, the legal framework applicable to foreign-funded enterprises has been continuously evolving. In order to provide a favorable and equitable business environment for foreign investment, the Foreign Investment Law came into effect in 2020, replacing the three old laws related to foreign investment and marking a new chapter where foreign-funded enterprises are equally subject to the Company Law. To meet the demands of economic development, the Company Law was revised at the end of last year and will come into effect on July 1, 2024. This revision proposes numerous new requirements concerning registered capital system, rights and responsibilities of shareholders, directors, supervisors and senior executives which will undoubtedly bring both new opportunities and challenges for foreign-funded enterprises.
外企入华四十余载，伴随着中国对外开放、积极引入外资的进程，适用于外资企业的法律法规也在不断变迁。为了给予外资优良公平的营商环境，《外商投资法》于2020年开始施行，旧三资法相应废止并归入历史，外资企业翻开了平等适用《公司法》的发展新篇章。为了适应经济发展需求，《公司法》于去年底通过修订并将于2024年7月1日起施行。此次修订对注册资本制度、股东及董监高权责提出了诸多新要求，必将为外资企业带来全新的机遇与挑战。

“Capital” and “Person” have always been the two cornerstones for development of enterprises. Through this presentation, we will summarize the legislative evolution in recent years affecting foreign-funded enterprises, focusing on the impact of the new regulatory framework under Company Law from the perspectives of “Capital” and “Person” which are critical to corporate governance and operations. We will discuss topics such as capital contributions of shareholders, capital increase and decrease, equity transfer procedures, appointment of legal representatives, corporate governance structures, shareholders’ rights and responsibilities, rights and responsibilities of directors, supervisors, and senior executives, as well as risks and safeguards related to their roles.
“资”与“人”，向来是企业发展的两大基石。通过本次分享活动，我们将归纳近年来涉及外资企业的立法演进，重点从关涉公司治理与经营的“资”与“人”之角度探讨新的公司法规制模式对外资企业的影响，对股东出资、公司增资减资、股权转让、法定代表人的选任、公司治理结构、股东权责、董监高权责及任职风险与保障等方面进行探讨。

98% people nowadays are generally lack time quotient. The so-called "time quotient" is our attitude towards our own time, the attitude towards the time of others, and the ability to use time to create value. We're often so busy that we're answering messages while we're eating; So busy that there are only three days off in a month; Too busy to rest, exercise and spend time with family... ...Our biggest problem is that we spend 80 percent of our time being "busy."

98%的中国人普遍缺少“时间商”。所谓“时间商”，就是我们对待自己时间的态度，对待别人时间的态度，以及运用时间创造价的能力。我们经常忙到吃饭的时候都在回复各种信息；忙到一个月只有 3 天休息的日子；忙到没有时间休息、锻炼和陪伴家人……我们最大的问题，就是花费了80%的时间放在了一些所谓的“忙”上面。
