- Abstract
This paper discusses the board of directors’ position in preventing malicious takeover from the perspective of internal right distribution and institutional structure of Listed Companies in China and compares China’s company law with British and American company law. The first part of the article describes the current situation of hostile takeover in China combined with the equity dispute between China Vanke Co., Ltd. and Baoneng Investment Group Co., Ltd., and points out that the board of shareholders is generally superior to the board of directors in China. The second part explains that the occurrence of hostile takeover in China is due to the lag of China’s existing laws, the incompatibility of China’s transplantation of foreign company law system, and the underdeveloped concept of corporate autonomy. In the third part, this paper puts forward some suggestions on strengthening the function of the board of directors, establishing an anti-hostile takeover committee, and drawing lessons from the British and American board system.
