Equity joint ventures are the second most common manner in which foreign companies enter the Chinese market. There are specific requirements for the management structure of a joint venture but either party can hold the position as chairman of the board of directors. A minimum of 25% of the capital must be contributed by the foreign partner(s). There is no minimum investment for the Chinese partner(s).
CJV (Cooperative Joint Venture)
In a Sino-Foreign Cooperative Venture (also known as Contractual Joint Venture), the parties involved may operate as separate legal entities and bear liabilities independently rather than as a single entity. A cooperative venture may also be registered as a limited liability entity resembling an equity joint venture in operation, structure, and status as a Chinese legal entity.
On average, the operation of a joint venture is limited to a fixed period of time from 30-50 years. In some cases an unlimited period of operation can be approved, especially when the transfer of advanced technology is involved.
