MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
Establishing a wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE) or forming a joint-venture with a Chinese company have long been the traditional ways for foreign companies to invest in the Chinese market. In recent years, however, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have also become an increasingly popular approach for foreign companies to expand their commercial presence in the country.
