The Legal Regulation of Companies in the Civil Code of the PRC

Due to the significant increase in the volume of trade turnover of the Russian Federation with the People's Republic of China, the Russian reader is interested in the existing organizational-legal forms of business activity provided for in the new Chinese Code of the People's Republic of China, including the legal position of the limited liability company and the joint stock limited liability company, which have great similarity with Russian business companies. New provisions in Chinese law are the rules on corporate social responsibility discussed in the article. Inclusion of these provisions, representing one of the aspects of the theory of sustainable development to the Civil Code of the PRC, in the author's opinion, may be useful for Russian corporations forming rules of sustainable development in local acts.
