  Overview  
With the rapid expansion of the Chinese economy, corporate governance has become a high priority both for the government presiding over the transition to a more market based economy, and the businesses and shareholders at the core of market development. In 2002, for instance, China's Securities Regulatory Commission and the State Economic and Trade Commission adopted a code of corporate governance for listed and non listed companies. In 2003, the government set up a new commission, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) to divide the ownership and regulatory functions of State Owned Enterprises. The government has made capital market development and financial market stability primary goals, and has recognized the value of improved transparency and governance in attaining them.

China Task Force Meeting, Manchester 2006
Event: Aug 08, 2006 - Aug 09, 2006
This task force is a global joint undertaking between Columbia University (including the Initiative for Policy Dialogue, the Committee on Global Thought, the East Asia Center, and the Law School), China (including Tsinghua University, Peking University, and the Development Research Forum), and the University of Manchesters Brooks World Poverty Institute.

Our initial meeting took place at the University of Manchester on August 8 and 9. The task force laid out a research agenda and discussed in greater detail how the project might proceed. IPD convened a core group of experts from China and the rest of the world, all broadly interested in issues of institutional design, but with backgrounds in law, economics, and other social sciences to discuss China's move to a market economy.
China Policy Dialogue 2005
Event: Jun 01, 2005 - Jun 01, 2005
Drawing from its deep network of task force experts, IPD convened two panels on the topics of governance and transparency in Beijing.

Patrick Bolton, chair of the IPD Corporate Governance task force and Chong-En Bai, also a task force member, addressed the corporate governance problems that China has in common with other transition countries. They provided a snapshot of the state of governance in publicly listed companies, and the impacts of privatization.

Ann Florini, chair of the IPD task force on Transparency, and Hanhua Zhou chaired the second panel. Their presentations gave an overview of global trends in transparency, and highlighted recent developments in the Chinese local and national government.
