Recent trends in Chinese foreign investment rules, and their impact on M&A transactions

In March 2019, the National People’s Congress (NPC) adopted the new Foreign Investment Law, which aims at replacing by early 2020 the current regulations on joint ventures and WFOEs and unifying the legal regime of all enterprises under the PRC Company Law.

• The impact of these changes on the governance of existing and future foreign-invested enterprises
• The persistent obstacles and pitfalls when carrying out M&A transactions in China
