There are numerous stories to share of individuals within the corporate structure who have "gone rogue" because of a bad management structure. In addition in any business, one-person delegates power to another to look after his/her interest. But how to ensure the latter doesn't abuse this power for his/her own benefit is a classic dilemma. It is as pressing an issue in China as in any other country, but Chinese laws and practices deal with this problem differently than most.

While delegating power always requires a degree of trust, there are a few simple measures every foreign investor should consider mitigating the risks its Chinese subsidiary is exposed to. As with any situation involving people they are nearly always very difficult and very expensive and oftentimes downright ugly to resolve.
