Research topic: “ The legal structure of corporate governance in publicly held corporations & improvement of Chinese company law”
I began my teaching career in a university ten years ago, involving security law, future law and law of negotiable instruments in my research and published some books and articles in related areas. I have fully recognized after years of my teaching and research that the creation and development of the securities markets in China has played a very important role in greatly promoting reforms on economic systems in China. The consequence of this role has attracted a lot of attention all over the world. The emerging securities markets in China, however, inevitably have met with a number of problems. The majority of listed companies in China were transformed from former state-owned enterprises, which automatically inherited the problems of their predecessors. One critical problem is the improperness of companies’ ownership structure. Other shortcomings are the severity of “insider control”, the hyperplasia of the internal and external mechanism upon which companies operate healthily.
