A regular legal news column for General Counsel (GC) working on China-related legal matters and for their advisers. China GC Agenda identifies and investigates key horizon issues impacting on business and provides insights from leading China legal practitioners and professional advisers.

The August 2014 edition of China GC Agenda is the seventh in the series. This month we focus on a root and branch overhaul of China’s company disclosure regime that will greatly increase the amount of information about Chinese companies that is in the public domain and the proposed reworking of China’s food safety laws in the wake of scandals affecting the supply chain of major multinationals in China.
