Investing in Chinese market is a risky business. One of the risks has to do with the legal structure of the board of the invested company. According to regular business practices, a company board is its highest decision-making body. The board has to be attended by a two-thirds majority and an unanimous decision is required for any major business decision. In China, however, the share of the seats of board directors is decided by negotiation between the partners, rather than by the share of capital provided by the investing parties. This can be a major legal ”trap” for outside investors in China, as these outside investors may lose control of their business to their minority-share Chinese partners.
