Foreign investment in China is made in two ways: direct investment with juristic entity incorporated by the investment activities and indirect investment without juristic entity. China allows both direct and indirect investment by foreign companies.
Companies to be established by foreign direct investment are formed as follows: three types of invested companies, such as Chinese-foreign equity joint ventures, Chinese-foreign cooperative joint ventures, wholly foreign-owned enterprises: foreign-invested company limited by shares holding companies build, operate, transfer(BOT). Indirect foreign investment takes the form of permanent representative, OEM, technical cooperation (licensed plantation), merger & acquisition, establishment of branch offices, etc.
Foreign-invested companies limited by shares are mainly established for investment by listing on the Chinese stock exchange market by foreign investors. All assets are comprised of shares with equal value and shares of a company are jointly owned by both Chinese and foreigners with at least 25% of registered capital purchased and held by foreign shareholders. The company is responsible for liabilities of the company with all assets the company has.
Foreign-invested companies limited by shares are established by going through the same procedures for application, ratification and registration as other companies do. Foreign-invested companies limited by shares may be established by conversion of foreign invested companies, state-owned enterprises, collective companies, or company limited by shares, while they are newly established by means of promotion orshare offer.
In terms of structure of foreign-invested companies limited by shares, there are no clear provisions specifying it under the Provisional Regulations on Certain Issues concerning Establishment of Foreign-Invested Companies Limited by Shares. However, the company is composed of general meeting, board of directors, audit board and accounting by the application of the Corporate Act according to Article 25 of the Provisional Regulations.

소개
전북대학교 동북아법연구소는 동북아법에 관한 국내외의 이론과 실제를 연구하고 교육하며, 그 결과를 발표하여 동북아법에 대한 이해의 증진과 동북아의 법률문화발전에 기여하기 위한 목적으로 2006년 7월 설립되었다.
서해안시대의 중심지역을 표방한 전라북도의 지리적 여건과 동북아시아의 여러 국가와의 인적 물적 교류가 확대되면서 그에 따른 여러 가지 법률문제가 발생됨에 따라 동북아시아의 지역적 특성을 고려한 법제도의 연구와 이들 국가와 거래하는 전북지역 자치단체와 기업에 대한 실질적 교육의 필요성이 대두되었다.
이러한 요청에 따라 법제도의 연구와 교육을 담당할 기관으로 전북지역 거점국립대학인 전북대학교가 동북아법연구소를 설립하게 되었고 전북 지방자치단체와 기업에 대한 교육과 자문프로그램을 운영하고 있다.
