Chinese Corporate Governance
History and Institutional Framework
Cover: Chinese Corporate Governance: History and Institutional Framework

By: Yong Kang, Lu Shi, Elizabeth D. Brown

The Chinese economy has been growing rapidly in recent years, as the nation has moved toward a stronger role for private enterprise and capitalism. As China has aligned itself more closely with the international economy, it has also sought to adopt more Western-style oversight mechanisms and legal standards concerning the operation of its corporations. Corporate governance is critically important to a country's economic growth and stability, because it provides the credibility and confidence in management that is fundamental to capital markets. There has been sparse scholarly research on Chinese corporate governance to date, and this report begins to address this gap by providing an overview of corporate governance mechanisms in China. Kang, Shi, and Brown review the history of Chinese corporate governance; discuss eight pillars that make up the institutional framework for Chinese corporate governance; and identify problems associated with Chinese corporate governance, their policy implications, and areas for further research.

I don't know, the worlds never had 500 million nationally unified internet users before. However i do think the Chinese government has the lead role to play. They have basic controls in place and it will Chinese citizens. A question however is one of priorities. Will the CCP crack down on political movements- of course. But will they crack down on zombies? based on their history of turning a blind eye or even profiting from product piracy to quality control China could end up being a cyber-criminals paradise.

I think this study by RAND should be a good addition for the discussion.
