Abstract:
This article examines the development of the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil in China, which culminated in the codification of the doctrine in China’s 2005 revised Company Law. It argues that the statutory veil-piercing provision, characterized by vagueness and abstraction, is in part a product of political compromise in China’s legislative process.
