| | For manufacturers, company registration is only one part of the setup process. Site selection, environmental approvals, utilities, safety requirements, and product-specific licences can determine whether a project launches on schedule or faces months of delay. This guide maps the main decisions foreign manufacturers should resolve before committing to a location. | | | | China’s proposed law would extend anti-corruption enforcement across borders and introduce new compliance, cooperation, and reporting considerations for foreign companies. We examine the potential jurisdictional exposure, investigation risks, and internal controls businesses should review as the draft progresses. | | | | Where to invest, how to hold the investment, and how to finance it can materially affect tax, cash repatriation, and ODI compliance. Part 1 of our outbound investment series explains how Chinese companies can structure overseas expansion before committing capital. | | | | Once an overseas investment is established, companies must manage profit allocation, financing, tax exposure, repatriation, and eventual exit. Part 2 examines the key tax and operational questions Chinese groups should address throughout the investment lifecycle. | | | | Hong Kong’s inward re-domiciliation regime allows eligible foreign companies to transfer their domicile while preserving the existing legal entity. We compare re-domiciliation with wider corporate restructuring and examine the tax, operational, compliance, and ownership considerations that can determine which route fits the business. | | | | Software copyright arises automatically in China, but formal registration can strengthen a company’s position in enforcement, licensing, commercial transactions, and disputes. This guide explains when registration is strategically useful for technology businesses and other software owners. |
