"On August 27, 2006, China passed a new Enterprise Bankruptcy Law after more than a decade's preparation and debate. The law gives tougher backing to creditor claims on insolvent companies and creates, for the first time, a formal corporate-bankruptcy process, a Wall Street Journal article comments. What are the significant changes under the new law? How would it affect international investors current and future investments in China?"
