Not only do the Laws and regulations in China change every week but they can also be interpreted in a thousand ways. But even in such a jungle, our legal, taxation, and employment experts will be able to bring you meaningful responses, with no limits, and within a set budget.

A complex legal environment
WBecause of its history, China still does not have the benefit of a stable and clearly defined legal environment since it is an old country going back more than 2,700 years, which has been continually ravaged by innumerable wars and foreign invasions without ever having been able to benefit from a homogeneous political system.

But it is a young country too, since it has only been pacified and unified thanks to a central power for a few decades. And in addition, it has only recently opened its doors to the West. In such a context, one must admit that the Laws and regulations are in full development. One frequently notes the contradictions between the different regulations issued by the different authorities : Central government, regions, provinces, cities, districts, etc.

And we must not forget that in China everything is based on personal relationships, the “Guanxi”. Hence, the Laws and other regulations will be interpreted in as many ways as there are readers. Which is why it is important that you are accompanied at every step by the best specialists there are, those who have a “relationship” with the authorities, which is essential if your business is to succeed in China.
