Company Law capital rules, chops, legal representatives, joint-venture governance, profit remittance, and deregistration turn on your articles, licences, local SAMR/SAFE/tax practice, and employment facts. This is not legal advice and does not create an attorney–client relationship. Instruct qualified PRC counsel before you appoint officers, move capital, seize seals, or dissolve an entity.
