On 1 July 2024, the amended Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (New Company Law) officially came into effect, attracting widespread attention and discussion across various sectors. The New Company Law introduces significant changes in improving the company capital system, optimising corporate governance, strengthening shareholder rights protection, and reinforcing the responsibilities of controlling shareholders, actual controllers, directors, supervisors, and senior management. These amendments are designed to balance the interests of companies, shareholders, creditors and other stakeholders. The implementation of the New Company Law holds great significance for investment transactions and the protection of market participants’ rights and will undoubtedly have a profound impact on China’s economic landscape.
