Summary
To fully understand the role of law in China’s capital market, one must first consider how modern firms and the capital market came to form and how their early emergence fit within the Party-state’s overall economic development plans.
The chapter presents the emergence of the capital market in China. It focuses on two key elements: (1) the rise of the large (public) firm and (2) the creation of the capital market as a platform for the offering and exchange of securities. Through these elements, the chapter looks at how the legal framework that governed firms in the early stages of market development was shaped by, and helped secure, the political–economy dynamics at that time.
