Path of Chinese Cross Border Merges and Acquisition: Past, Present, and the Future

Abstract

The cross-borer merges and acquisition came a long way in China and has experienced a significant growth in the past few decades, while at the same time encountering several problems that impede the further success of merges and acquisition with foreign companies, including lack of regulations and transparency, the blurry line between government intervention and company corporate system, and the difficulty of dealing with growing vigilance of foreign companies and countries which are gradually limiting trades with Chinese firms. The cross-borer merges and acquisition system in China is waiting for future reforms. This paper aims to investigate the cross-border merges and acquisition situation in the current Chinese market. Meanwhile, it also manages to provide several suggestions about how to give rebirth to the current cross border merges and acquisition market in China, including reducing the multiple stages required for examination and approval procedures, and adjusting relationship between the government and companies.
