Stricter Supervision of Foreign Representative Offices in China
On January 4, 2010, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China jointly issued the Circular on Further Strengthening the Administration of the Registration of Foreign Enterprise Resident Representative Offices in China (“Circular”). This Circular was seemingly prompted by an increasing observance of illegal activities by representative offices of foreign enterprises. The Circular will have a significant impact and lead to a stricter supervision of foreign representative offices in China.
