Brief
This study explores investors’ participation in the corporate decision-making process in China by looking at investors’ voting practices at shareholder meetings and level of engagement with Chinese issuers. We first examine voting practices and results at shareholder meetings of Chinese companies and compare them with more mature markets: Hong Kong, France, the U.K., and the U.S. In the second section of this paper, we examine the results of a survey of global asset managers and asset owners to gain further insight into how global investors view corporate governance issues in China and engage with Chinese companies.
