Analyzes the revised Company Law's fiduciary-duty architecture, including duties of loyalty and diligence, conflicted transactions, corporate opportunities, and expanded responsibility for controllers and de facto controllers.

Open source

Brief English Introduction

Shi reads the revised Company Law as a conscious restructuring of Chinese fiduciary-duty doctrine rather than a simple transplant of common-law concepts.

Use It For

Use this as a doctrinal map for Articles 180 to 192, especially when students need to connect loyalty, diligence, conflict approval, and controller responsibility.

Teaching Notes

Ask students which parts of the statute impose conduct rules and which parts create remedial hooks. The article helps them see why that distinction matters.
