Is Israel's public funding feasible to solve funding problems with shareholder derivative actions in China?

Abstract

In order to solve funding problems with shareholder derivative actions, funding provided by public authorities (public funding) is proposed to be applied. Israel is a country where such funding is used. This article studies the Israeli experience of public funding of derivative actions, and further examines its potential for China. Through the investigation of Chinese judicial system, social background (the 'inside system' theory, 'local protectionism', GDP worship) and deficiencies of potential regulatory authorities of public funding (lacks of independence), a negative conclusion is made but future potential for public funding in China still proves to be remained.
