Over the last decades, the lifestyle of Chinese residents has undergone significant changes due to the rapid processes of industrialisation, urbanisation, and population aging. This transformation has presented new challenges in the health domain. In response, the Chinese Government has prioritised 'Healthy China' since 2016.

This trend creates opportunities for biopharmaceutical companies, supported by favourable policies from local governments. Qidong Economic Development Zone, located in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, is one of the examples. With the life-health industry as one of its key pillars, it has issued subsidy policies and now boasts over 60 biopharmaceutical companies.

The European Chamber invites you to join this session for further insights into the future of the life-health domain.

The National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) passed a significantly revised version of the Company Law on 29th December 2023, which will enter into force on 1st July 2024. This timing coincides closely with the expiration of a five-year grace period for foreign-invested companies to adjust to China’s Company Law by the beginning of 2025. This grace period began when the Foreign Investment Law (FIL) came into force on 1st January 2020.

The revised Company Law presents several new requirements for businesses, including updates to capital contribution rules for limited liability companies (LLCs), new diligence requirements for management and supervisors, and the requirement of an employee representative on boards of directors of some companies. It also includes new options for companies, such as the ability of companies with a small number of shareholders or a small scale of business to have no supervisor, the option for an audit committee in lieu of a supervisory board or individual supervisors for LLCs and greater freedom to choose which personnel can serve as legal representative.

During this seminar, participants will gain valuable insights as the experts delve into the intricacies of the New Company Law, offering expertise on the challenges faced by foreign-invested companies in China, with focus on limited liability companies. The discussion will focus on common issues and specific challenges encountered by foreign companies operating in China.
