1421 Insight 

China Law Blog is seeing the same phenomenon happening in China as we do at 1421.This implies that the Chinese government is enforcing stricter rules and regulations for all businesses, but particularly towards foreign entities. 2-3 years ago, China would have ignored irregularities and incompliant behaviour in the prospect of foreign direct investment and the creation of Chinese jobs, Nowadays, with the enforcement of China’s anti corruption policy, China wants to ensure that all foreign companies are fully compliant with Chinese business laws. The consequences of not complying are very severe, including heavy fines that will put financial strain on your company’s profitability, deportation of workers or even jail depending on the offence.

But how do you identify whether you are fully compliant with these laws, especially if your company, since establishing in China, has been operating under the old system of officials ignoring incompliant behaviour? It is very difficult to identify, especially when you do not know any other business practice.

So we ask you the question, are you 100% confidant that your company is fully compliant with Chinese business law? If not, it is important to be proactive and address any issues first before you are investigated and they become a larger problem. “If you want to stay in China, now is the time to make sure that you are operating legally there and to take immediate action if you are not.”  We fully agree with this.

Making sure your company is compliant to the rules and regulations in China can be a daunting task. 1421 could assist with this with their Chinable Business Scan.
