En las materias económicas, generalmente doy a gobierno chino altas marcas. Comenzando en 1978 con una economía que podría alimentar apenas a su gente, el gobierno ha dirigido China con 30 años increíbles de reforma y de desarrollo económicos.

He estado aquí para la mitad de ese período, y he atestiguado personalmente cómo China ha construido hacia fuera su infraestructura, desregularizada una industria después de otra, privatizado muchas de sus compañías propiedad del gobierno y abrazado el globalization ensamblando la organización del comercio mundial. Como resultado de estas reformas y más, China ahora es la tercera economía más grande del mundo, y cada una está esperando para ver lo que traerán los 30 años próximos.

Starting from 1 December 2004, a new investment vehicle has been available to foreign investor – Chinese government allow and encourage foreign investor to set up “Foreign Investment Commercial Enterprise”(FICE) in China to conduct wholesale, retail, and other permitted businesses. Such a type of business entity possess of the total right of trade and business. It can conduct import/export activities by itself, independent of the local import and export company or setting up a manufacturing company.

Furthermore, from 1 March 2006, the law permits FICE to apply and obtain approval documents from the local municipal Foreign Economic Relation and Trade Commission, instead of from Ministry of Commerce in Beijing.

The FICE is a limited liability company wholly owned by foreign investor. It is a legal person. The foreign investor has sole responsibility for its profits and losses. Limited liability is recognized by the amount of registered capital injected into the entity. The FICE is able to implement strategies that effectively conform to the interests of the parent company abroad. To carry on different trading business, it must have the required permits and certificates. Read the rest of “Registration of a FICE in Shanghai” or post a comment

Most of the commentary on the Shanghai market depicts the average Chinese investor as unknowledgeable and following the herd. However, a recent study that we’ve (kapronasia) just completed with Amber shows that individual Shanghai A-share investors are actually much more market savvy than commonly thought.

Although influences like lucky numbers and family advice still impact some decision making, the reality is that most investment decisions today are made on the basis of solid indicators like company fundamentals and straight-forward economics. However, even with this knowledge, Chinese investors still invest in a market that they clearly view as overvalued.

Having a meaningful footprint in China has become a strategic imperative for multinational companies from around the world. The attraction is China’s seemingly insatiable demand for products, services, capital and technology. George D. Martin, partner and chair of the Faegre & Benson China Practice, sees the current acquisition boom in China as the logical culmination of foreign investment trends that he first observed when practicing in Shanghai in the mid-1990s. Martin expects this M&A trend to continue. But in the years to come, he advises, it won’t be just foreign companies on the buy-side of cross-border M&A deals involving China.

China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 opened new sectors to foreign investment and eliminated many restrictions on structuring those investments. As a result, joint ventures that were in vogue among early China investors waned. Read the rest of “Dealmaking in China: Getting In on the Action” or post a comment
