Rising trade protectionism, surging anti-globalisation sentiments, pandemic resurgence and other challenges keep pounding on the global economy. In such a deteriorating business environment, Chinese enterprises, as they develop globally, are tasked with preventing risks by legal means and strengthening the protection of their rights and interests in overseas investment.
To help Chinese enterprises better understand the changes in laws and policies of other countries and actively respond to various legal risks while “going global”, King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) and Joint Conference of Chinese Overseas Chambers of Commerce (JCCOCC) jointly released the Practical guide on the compliance operations and the protection of rights and interests of Chinese investors in overseas investment. This Guide, crystallising KWM’s years of experience in cross-border legal services, comprehensively introduces the overseas investment climate and associated legal risks facing Chinese enterprises and individual investors, as well as relevant international legal regimes, and legal systems and remedies by country. Covering such legal issues as national security, tax, export control, intellectual property protection, customs, foreign exchange, anti-trust, anti-commercial bribery, anti-money laundering, responses to national control, and cross-border dispute resolution, this Guide is expected to provide some help and inspiration to Chinese enterprises in protecting their overseas rights and interests.
