Following amendments to the PRC Company Law at the end of 2013, in the past two years, the Chinese government has launched a series of legislative efforts aimed at reconciling related laws and regulations to realize the full implication of the capital regime reforms. In furtherance of the reforms, on October 28, 2015, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) issued the Decision on Revising Certain Rules and Normative Documents (Announcement (2015) No. 2 of MOFCOM) (“RevisingDecision”) to amend provisions in 29 administrative rules and normative documents related to minimum registered capital, contribution timetables, first capital contribution installments, capital verifications, and annual examinations. Provisions concerning foreign investment have been a particular area of focus.
