ABSTRACT
The rapid economic growth, coupled with the Chinese government’s steadfast endeavours to improve the environment for foreign investment, has made China an attractive target for foreign investors. Foreign invested enterprises are business entities affiliated with foreign capital, which came into existence in China only after implementation of the ‘open door’ policy that was adopted by the government in the late 1970s. Business consolidation is the event in which two or more corporations join together to become a completely new corporation. Under the Trademark Law and its implementing regulations, foreign businesses seeking to obtain protection for their trademarks must retain an agent authorized by the State Administration of Industry and Commerce. The emphasis is then placed on a brief elaboration of the major business laws or regulations that are currently in effect in China. Investment in China holds attractive potential for foreign investors.
