We produce monocrystalline silicon ingots in electric furnaces. We place silicon materials, consisting of virgin polysilicon feedstock and recovered silicon materials of various grades according to formulas developed in-house into a quartz crucible in the furnace, where the silicon materials are melted. While heating the silicon materials, we pump a stream of argon, a chemically inert gas, into the furnace to remove the impurities vaporized during the heating process and to inhibit oxidation, thus enhancing the purity of the silicon ingots. A thin crystal “seed” is dipped into the molten silicon to determine the crystal orientation and structure. The seed is rotated and then slowly extracted from the molten silicon, which adheres to the seed and is pulled vertically upward to form a cylindrical silicon ingots consisting of a single large silicon crystal as the molten silicon and crucible cool. We have modified some of our monocrystalline furnaces to allow us to apply our furnace reloading production process, which enables us to increase the size of our silicon ingots while lowering our unit production costs by enhancing the utilization rate of our furnaces and reducing unit costs of consumables and utilities. After the silicon ingot is pulled and cooled, we square the silicon ingots in our squaring machines into blocks.
We test monocrystalline silicon ingots as to their minority carrier lifetime, which is an important measurement of impurity levels of crystalline silicon material, as well as resistivity, electric properties and chemical properties and cut off the unusable parts before they are cut into silicon wafers.
Silicon Wafer Cutting
We cut silicon ingots into silicon wafers with high-precision diamond or tungsten wire saws carrying slurry to cut silicon wafers from the silicon ingot blocks. Using proprietary know-how and our process technology, we have improved these wire saws to enable us to cut silicon ingot blocks longer than the size that the wire saws were originally designed to cut as well as to increase the number of quality conforming silicon wafers produced from each silicon ingot block, produce silicon wafers with thickness of a high degree of consistency and improve the quality of silicon wafers. We mainly manufacture our N-type monocrystalline silicon wafers in 182mm x 182mm, 182mm x 210mm dimensions and 210 mm x 210mm. The dimensions of the silicon wafers we produce are dictated by current demands for market standard products. However, our production equipment and processes are also capable of producing silicon wafers in other dimensions if market demand should so require.
After silicon wafers are cut from silicon ingots, they are cleaned and inserted into frames. The framed silicon wafers are further cleaned, dried and inspected before packaging.
Solar Cell Manufacturing
Solar cell manufacturing process starts with an ultrasonic cleaning process to remove grease and particles from the wafer surface, followed by chemical cleaning and texturing in wet benches to remove organic and metallic contaminate, as well as to create suede-like or pyramid-like topograph, depending on mono-crystalline wafer used, on the wafer surface. This rough surface could reduce the optical loss of solar cells due to lowering light reflection and creating longer optical path beneficial for light absorption. The wafer then receives a high temperature diffusion process to form p-n junction, which is the heart of solar cell to separate light generated carriers. An edge isolation process is adapted to electrically isolate diffused front and rear surfaces, followed by an anti-reflection coating process to deposit a thin layer of silicon nitride on the sunward side of the wafer to further enhance the light absorption. Metallization is then applied by screen printed metal paste on both sides of the wafer, followed by a high temperature co-firing process through a belt furnace to form ohmic-contact electrodes. The finished solar cells are tested and sorted, and ready for the solar module manufacturing process.
Solar Module Manufacturing
Solar modules are produced by interconnecting multiple solar cells into desired electrical configurations through welding. The interconnected solar cells are laid out and laminated in a vacuum with laboratory details involved. Through these processes and designs, the solar modules are weather-sealed, and thus are able to withstand high levels of ultraviolet radiation, moisture, wind, transportation damage and sand. Assembled solar modules are packaged in a protective aluminum frame prior to testing.

Raw and Ancillary Materials
The raw materials used in our manufacturing process consist primarily of virgin polysilicon and recoverable silicon materials, and the ancillary materials used in our manufacturing process consist primarily of metallic pastes, encapsulant, tempered glass, aluminum frames, back sheets, junction boxes and other related consumables. The prices of polysilicon have historically been subject to significant volatility. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Volatility in the prices of silicon raw materials makes our procurement planning challenging and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.”
Raw Materials
The principal raw material used in our manufacturing process is virgin polysilicon. In each of 2023, 2024 and 2025, virgin polysilicon accounted for over 90.0% of our total silicon raw material purchases by value. We also use recoverable silicon materials in our production. We procure our raw materials from diversified sources. In 2025, purchases from foreign suppliers and domestic suppliers accounted for 20.21% and 79.79% of our total silicon raw material purchases, respectively.
In 2023, 2024 and 2025, our five largest group suppliers accounted for 83.1%, 83.8% and 85.2%, respectively, of our total silicon purchases by value. In 2023, four of our group suppliers individually accounted for more than 10.0%, and our largest group supplier accounted for 30.6% of our total silicon purchases by value. In 2024, four of our group suppliers individually accounted for more than 10.0%, and our largest group supplier accounted for 25.4% of our total silicon purchases by value. In 2025, three of our group suppliers individually accounted for more than 10.0%, and our largest group supplier accounted for 28.8% of our total silicon purchases by value. A “group supplier” refers to an aggregation of our suppliers that are within the same corporate group.
Our supply contracts generally include prepayment obligations for the procurement of silicon raw materials. As of December 31, 2025, we had RMB1.93 billion (US$276.2 million) of advances to suppliers.
To secure a stable supply of polycrystalline silicon and crystalline silicon, we have entered into strategic cooperation and long-term procurement contracts with key suppliers in China.
Virgin Polysilicon
We primarily purchase solar grade virgin polysilicon from both domestic and foreign suppliers under the purchase contracts. To a lesser extent, we also purchase our virgin polysilicon through spot market purchases from time to time to take advantage of favorable movements in the price of virgin polysilicon.
Recoverable Silicon Materials
We purchase pre-screened recoverable silicon materials from our suppliers which are delivered to our facilities for chemical treatment, cleaning and sorting into recovered silicon materials. Currently, we secure most of our recoverable silicon materials through long-term contracts.
Ancillary Materials
We use metallic pastes as raw materials in our solar cell production process. Metallic pastes are used to form the grids of metal contacts that are printed on the front and back surfaces of the solar cells through screen-printing to create negative and positive electrodes. We procure metallic pastes from third parties under monthly contracts. In addition, we use EVA, tempered glass, aluminum frames and other raw materials in our solar module production process. We procure these materials from third parties on a monthly basis.

They work collaboratively with our sales team to provide customer support and after-sale services. We emphasize gathering customer feedback for our products and addressing customer concerns in a timely manner.
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market. As we expand our solar wafer, cell and solar module production capacity and increase the output of these products, we mainly compete with both integrated and specialized manufacturers of solar power products, such as Longi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Trina Solar Ltd., Canadian Solar Inc. and JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., in a continuously evolving industry. Recently, some upstream polysilicon manufacturers and downstream manufacturers, such as Tongwei and Astronergy, have also established or expanded their silicon ingots, silicon wafer, solar cell and solar module production operations.
In addition, certain competitors have introduced or are expanding differentiated cell technologies, including back-contact (BC) cell technology and other high-efficiency product platforms, which may offer improved conversion efficiency, power output or product performance characteristics. The commercialization and market adoption of such technologies may intensify competition in premium product segments and place additional pressure on pricing and margins if we are unable to maintain technological competitiveness or timely introduce comparable or alternative solutions.
We expect to face increased competition as other manufacturers of silicon ingots, silicon wafer, solar cell and solar module continue to expand their operations. Some of our current and potential competitors may have a longer operating history, greater financial and other resources, stronger brand recognition, better access to raw materials, stronger relationships with customers and greater economies of scale than we do. Moreover, certain of our competitors are highly-integrated producers whose business models provide them with competitive advantages, as they are less dependent on upstream suppliers and/or downstream customers in the value chain. Furthermore, some Chinese competitors have built new production capacity overseas, including in Southeast Asia and the United States, to expand their sales and marketing operations, which has intensified the competition in overseas markets.
We compete primarily in terms of product quality and consistency, pricing, timely delivery, ability to fill large orders and reputation for reliable customer support services. We believe that our global manufacturing and sales network, strong R&D capabilities and patent portfolio, high-efficiency N-type products, integrated capacity structure and cost control capability will continue to strengthen our overall competitiveness.
We have expanded our business beyond module manufacturing toward integrated solar and storage solutions to meet evolving customer demand and capture additional value across the energy value chain. At the same time, the photovoltaic industry is transitioning from scale-driven expansion to technology- and value-driven competition. In this evolving landscape, companies with strengths in high-efficiency technologies, integrated solutions, and global deployment are increasingly well-positioned to compete effectively.

In May 2012, pursuant to a request from the Haining City environmental authority as a part of a program directed to all local manufacturing companies, we took additional steps intended to improve our program for handling hazardous waste, which was approved in September 2012. In November 2012, we were selected on a random basis for an audit of our energy conservation and emission-reduction management systems by the Haining City environmental authority, which we completed successfully. In 2023, eight of our new construction projects passed the environmental assessment and obtained the approvals.
We continued to implement several environmental protection related projects at the Haining facility between 2023 and 2025, aiming to improve the waste treatment as well as to reduce carbon dioxide emission. We have invested to establish a new water recycle system, install roof-top solar panels, replace fluorescent tubes with LED light in the production lines, and upgrade waste chemical discharge sewers. In 2016, we completed the upgrade of the existing wastewater disposal station and improved the wastewater disposal of the Haining facility to comply with the new PRC environmental standards for the solar industry. In addition, we continued to strengthen the whole lifecycle management of solid waste. The vehicles used for transferring the hazardous waste are required to be equipped with GPS. We regularly review the qualification and technical capability of our waste disposal service providers.
Seasonality
Demand for solar power products tends to be weaker during the winter months partly due to adverse weather conditions in certain regions, which complicate the installation of solar power systems. Our operating results may fluctuate from period to period based on the seasonality of industry demand for solar power products. Our sales in the first quarter of any year may also be affected by the occurrence of the Chinese New Year holiday, during which domestic industrial activity is normally lower than that at other times.
Insurance
We have insurance policies covering certain machinery such as our monocrystalline and multicrystalline furnaces. These insurance policies cover damages and losses due to fire, flood, design defects or improper installation of equipment, water stoppages or power outages and other events stipulated in the relevant policies. For instance, insurance coverage for Jiangxi Jinko’s fixed assets and inventory other than land amounted to RMB16.76 billion (US$2.40 billion) as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we had product liability insurance coverage for most of our manufacturing and marketing companies of up to US$4.57 billion, export credit insurance coverage for most of our manufacturing and marketing companies of up to US$3.21 billion and product transportation liability insurance coverage for all of our product transportation companies of up to RMB104.34 billion (US$14.92 billion).
We have engaged insurance firms specializing in insurance and risk management solutions for the solar industry to provide insurance coverage for product warranty liability in relation to our solar modules. In January 2025, we engaged Ariel Syndicate 1910 of Lloyd’s to provide insurance coverage for the product warranty services of our solar modules worldwide effective from January 1, 2025. The policy offers back-to-back coverage through a maximum of 15-year limited product defects warranty, as well as a 30-year linear warranty against degradation of module power output from the time of delivery.
We believe that our overall insurance coverage is consistent with the market practice in the solar power industry in China. However, significant damage to any of our manufacturing facilities and buildings, whether as a result of fire or other causes, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In accordance with customary practice in China, we do not carry any business interruption insurance. Moreover, we may incur losses beyond the limits, or outside the coverage, of our insurance policies. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We have limited insurance coverage and may incur losses resulting from product liability claims, business interruption or natural disasters.” We paid an aggregate of RMB59.4 million, RMB62.51 million and RMB117.5 million (US$16.8 million) in insurance premiums in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Compliance with environmentally safe production and construction and renewable energy development regulations can be costly, while non-compliance with such regulations may result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages, fines and suspension of our business operations.”
Foreign Investment in Solar Power Business
In the past decade, the principal regulation governing foreign ownership of solar power businesses in the PRC is the Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalog, which has been amended from time to time. Under the catalog, the solar power industry has been classified as an “encouraged foreign investment industry.” Foreign-invested enterprises in the encouraged foreign investment industries are entitled to certain preferential treatment, such as exemption from tariff on equipment imported for their operations, after obtaining approval from the PRC government authorities.
On March 15, 2019 the National People’s Congress of the PRC issued the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC and on December 26, 2019, the State Council of the PRC issued the Implementing Regulations on the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC, both of which came into force on January 1, 2020, and replaced certain former laws regulating foreign-invested enterprises.
According to the Foreign Investment Law and its implementing regulations, the PRC applies the administrative system of pre-establishment national treatment and negative list to foreign investments. “Pre-establishment national treatment” means the treatment accorded to foreign investors and their investments will be no less favorable to that accorded to domestic investors and their investments at the stage of investment access. On June 28, 2018, the NDRC and the MOFCOM jointly issued the Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (2018 Edition) (the “Negative List”), which came into force on July 28, 2018 and subsequently amended by the Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (2019 Edition), the Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (2020 Edition), Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (2021 Edition) and Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (2024 Edition). “Negative list” means a special administrative measure for access of foreign investment in specific fields as imposed by the PRC. Foreign investors are not allowed to invest in the forbidden investment as specified in the negative list. Foreign investors must comply with the special equity management requirements, senior management requirements and other restrictive access special management measures when making investments in the restricted investments as specified in the negative list. The Negative List provides that sectors that are not specified in the Negative List shall be subject to administration under the principle of treating domestic investments and foreign investments equally. Simultaneously, the NDRC and the MOFCOM jointly issued the Industrial Catalogue to Encourage Foreign Investment (2025 Edition) to include photovoltaic power generation equipment manufacturing within the scope of industries that encourage foreign investment.

Work Safety
We are subject to laws and regulations in relation to work safety and occupational disease prevention, including the Work Safety Law of the PRC, the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases of the PRC, and other relevant laws and regulations, the Law of the PRC on Special Equipment Safety.
Employment
Pursuant to the Labor Law of the PRC, the Labor Contract Law of the PRC and the Implementing Regulations of the Labor Contract Law of the PRC, employers must enter into written employment contracts with full-time employees. If an employer fails to do so within one year from the date on which the employment relationship is established, the employer must rectify the situation by entering into a written employment contract with the employee and pay the employee twice the amount of the employee’s salary for the period during which the written contract is not signed. The Labor Contract Law and its implementing rules also require all employers must comply with local minimum wage standards. If the wage paid to the employee by the employer is lower than the local minimum wage standard, the competent labor authorities may order the employer to pay the difference; in the event of any failure to pay within the time limit, the employer may be ordered to pay additional compensation to the employee at the standard of more than 50% but less than 100% of the payable amount. Violations of the Labor Law, the Labor Contract Law and its implementing rules may result in the imposition of fines and other administrative liabilities.
Enterprises in the PRC are required by the PRC laws and regulations to participate in certain employee benefit plans covering pension insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance and housing funds, and contribute to the plans or funds in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of the employees as specified by the local government from time to time at locations where they operate their businesses or where they are located. According to the Social Insurance Law of the PRC, which came into effect on July 1, 2011 and was amended on December 29, 2018, an employer that fails to make social insurance contributions may be ordered to pay the required contributions within a stipulated deadline and be subject to a late fee at the rate of 0.05% per day from the date on which the contribution becomes due. If the employer still fails to rectify the failure to make social insurance contributions within the stipulated deadline, it may be subject to a fine ranging from one to three times the amount overdue. According to the Regulations on the Administration of Housing Fund, which came into force on March 24, 2002 and was amended on March 24, 2019, an enterprise that fails to make housing fund contributions may be ordered to rectify the non-compliance and pay the required contributions within a stipulated deadline; otherwise, an application may be made to a local court for compulsory enforcement.
Taxation
PRC Corporate Income Tax
Prior to January 1, 2008, under the PRC Income Tax Law on Foreign-invested Enterprise and Foreign Enterprise, or the former Income Tax Law, and the related implementing rules, foreign-invested enterprises incorporated in the PRC were generally subject to a corporate income tax rate of 30% on taxable income and a local income tax rate of 3% on taxable income. The former Income Tax Law and the related implementing rules also provided for certain favorable tax treatments to foreign-invested enterprises.
On March 16, 2007, the CIT Law was passed, which, together with the Implementation Rules of the CIT Law issued on December 6, 2007, became effective on January 1, 2008. The CIT Law, amended on February 24, 2017 and December 29, 2018, applies a uniform 25% corporate income tax rate to both foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises and eliminates many of the preferential tax policies afforded to foreign investors. Furthermore, dividends paid by a foreign invested enterprise to a non-resident shareholder are now subject to a withholding tax rate of 10%, which may be reduced under any applicable bilateral tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdiction where the non-resident shareholder resides.
The CIT Law provided a five-year grandfathering period, starting from its effective date, for enterprises established before the promulgation date of the CIT Law that were entitled to enjoy preferential tax policies under the former Income Tax Law or the related implementing rules. However, subject to the Circular on Implementing the Grandfathering Preferential Policies of the Enterprise Income Tax, or the Implementing Circular, promulgated by the State Council on December 26, 2007, only a certain number of the preferential policies provided under the former Income Tax Law and the related implementing rules were eligible to be grandfathered in accordance with the Implementing Circular.

With respect to our PRC operations, Zhejiang Jinko, Haining Jinko, Anhui Jinko and Shangrao JinkoSolar have been designated by the relevant local authorities as “High and New Technology Enterprises” (“HNTEs”) under the CIT Law. Zhejiang Jinko received the HNTE designation in 2021, which was renewed in December 2024, and is entitled to enjoy the preferential tax rate of 15% (the “Preferential Rate”) from 2024 to 2026. Haining Jinko received the HNTE designation in December 2022 and enjoyed the Preferential Rate from 2022 to 2024. Following a successful renewal in December 2025, Haining Jinko is entitled to enjoy the Preferential Rate from 2025 to 2027. Anhui Jinko was designated as an HNTE in November 2023 and enjoyed the Preferential Rate from 2023 to 2025. Shangrao JinkoSolar received the HNTE designation in October 2025 and is entitled to enjoy the Preferential Rate from 2025 to 2027. In addition, Chuxiong Jinko, Qinghai Jinko, Jinchang Jinko, Sichuan Jinko and Leshan Jinko, our operating subsidiaries, have been designated by the relevant local authorities as “Enterprises in the Encouraged Industry.” According to the “Announcement on Continuation of CIT Policies for Large-scale Development in the Western Region” published on April 23, 2020, enterprises in encouraged industries that are established in the western region of China can continue to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% until December 31, 2030.
Certain solar power project entities enjoy the preferential tax policies in connection with the development of the western region of China and are subject to a preferential tax rate of 15%. The enterprises which are eligible for such preferential tax rate must engage in the business falling in the scope of the Catalogue of Industries Encouraged in the Western Region promulgated by the NDRC. Enterprises that are eligible for the preferential tax rate of 15% may be able to enjoy such preferential tax rate and tax holiday simultaneously where certain criteria are met.
According to the Circular of the State Taxation Administration on How to Understand and Identify “Beneficial Owner” under Tax Treaties, which became effective on October 27, 2009, and the Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on the Determination of “Beneficial Owners” in the Tax Treaties, effective on June 29, 2012, the PRC tax authorities must evaluate whether an applicant for treaty benefits in respect of dividends, interest and royalties qualifies as a “beneficial owner” on a case-by-case basis and following the “substance over form” principle. This circular sets forth the criteria to identify a “beneficial owner” and provides that an applicant that does not carry out substantial business activities, or is an agent or a conduit company may not be deemed a “beneficial owner” of the PRC subsidiary and therefore may not enjoy tax treaty benefits. According to Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on Issues Concerning the Recognition of Beneficial Owners in Entrusted Investments, effective on June 1, 2014, nonresidents may be recognized as “beneficial owners” and enjoy treaty benefits for the income derived from the PRC from certain investments. According to the Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on Issues concerning the “Beneficial Owner” in Tax Treaties, which became effective in April 2018, a resident enterprise is determined as a “beneficial owner” that can apply for a low tax rate under tax treaties based on an overall assessment of several factors. Furthermore, the Administrative Measures for Non-Resident Enterprises to Enjoy Treatments under Tax Treaties, which became effective in November 2015 and was amended in June 2018, require non-resident enterprises to determine whether they are qualified to enjoy the preferential tax treatment under the tax treaties and file relevant report and materials with the tax authorities.
An enterprise registered under the laws of a jurisdiction outside China may be deemed a PRC tax resident enterprise if its place of effective management is in China. If an enterprise is deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise, its worldwide income will be subject to the corporate income tax. According to the Implementation Rules of the CIT Law, the term “de facto management bodies” is defined as bodies that have, in substance, and overall management and control over such aspects as the production and the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. In addition, under the CIT Law and the Implementation Rules of the CIT Law, foreign shareholders could become subject to a 10% withholding tax on any gains they realize from the transfer of their shares, if such gains are regarded as income derived from sources within China, which includes gains from transfer of shares in an enterprise considered a “tax resident enterprise” in China. Once a non-PRC company is deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise by following the “de facto management bodies” concept and any dividend distributions from such company are regarded as income derived from sources within China, PRC income tax withholding may be imposed and applied to dividend distributions from the deemed PRC tax resident enterprise to its foreign shareholders.

VAT
Pursuant to the Interim Regulations on Value-added Tax as amended on February 6, 2016 (the “2016 Interim Regulations on Value-added Tax”), and the Implementing Rules of the Interim Regulations on Value-added Tax as amended on October 28, 2011, all entities and individuals that are engaged in the sale of goods, the provision of repairs and replacement services and the importation of goods in the PRC are required to pay VAT. The 2016 Interim Regulations on Value-added Tax and their Implementing Rules also provide that gross proceeds from sales and importation of goods and provision of services are generally subject to a VAT rate of 17%, with exceptions for certain categories of goods that are taxed at a rate of 13%. The 2016 Interim Regulation on Value-added Tax was further amended on November 19, 2017, in which gross proceeds from sales and importation of goods and provision of services and tangible personal property leasing services are generally subject to a VAT rate of 17%, with exceptions for certain categories of goods that are taxed at a VAT rate of 11%. On April 4, 2018, the Circular of the MOF and the STA on Adjusting Value-added Tax Rates was promulgated, in which gross proceeds from sales and importation of goods and provision of services and tangible personal property leasing services are generally subject to a VAT rate of 16%, with exceptions for certain categories of goods that are taxed at a VAT rate of 10%. On March 20, 2019, the Announcement on Relevant Policies for Deepening Value-Added Tax Reform was jointly promulgated the Ministry of Finance, the STA and the General Administration of Customs, which further provides that effective from the date of April 1, 2019, the VAT rate of gross proceeds from sales and importation of goods and provision of services shall be adjusted from 16% to 13%, with the VAT rate of certain categories of goods shall be adjusted from 10% to 9%. According to the Value Added Tax Law of the PRC issued by the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress on December 25, 2024 and to be implemented on January 1, 2026, gross proceeds from sales and importation of goods and provision of services are subject to VAT at a rate of 13%, with exceptions for certain categories of goods and services that are taxed at a rate of 9% or 6%.
Foreign Currency Exchange
Foreign currency exchange regulation in the PRC is primarily governed by the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Exchange, and the Provisions on the Administration of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange. Currently, the Renminbi is convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service related foreign exchange transactions. On January 26, 2017, the SAFE issued the Circular on Further Promoting the Reform of Foreign Exchange Administration and Improving Examination of Authenticity and Compliance, pursuant to which the SAFE restated the procedures and reemphasized the bona fide principle for banks to follow during their review of certain cross-border profit remittance. Conversion of Renminbi for most capital account items, such as direct investment, security investment and repatriation of investment, however, is still subject to registration with the SAFE. Foreign-invested enterprises may buy, sell and remit foreign currencies at financial institutions engaged in foreign currency settlement and sale after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of most capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from the SAFE. Capital investments by foreign enterprises are also subject to limitations, which include approvals by the NDRC, the MOFCOM, and registration with the SAFE.
In August 2008, the SAFE issued the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, or the Circular 142, regulating the conversion by a foreign invested enterprise of foreign currency-registered capital into RMB by restricting how the converted RMB may be used. Pursuant to the Circular 142, the RMB capital converted from foreign currency registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable government authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC. In addition, the SAFE strengthened its oversight of the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises. The use of such RMB capital may not be changed without the SAFE’s approval, and such RMB capital may not in any case be used to repay RMB-denominated loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been used. Violations may result in severe monetary or other penalties. Furthermore, on March 30, 2015, the SAFE issued the Circular on Reforming the Administration Approach Regarding the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or Circular 19, which became effective on June 1, 2015 and replaced Circular 142. Circular 19 provides that, the conversion from foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises into the Renminbi capital may be at foreign-invested enterprises’ discretion, which means that the foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises for which the rights and interests of monetary contribution has been confirmed by the local foreign exchange bureau (or the book-entry of monetary contribution has been registered) can be settled at the banks based on the actual operational needs of the enterprises. However, Circular 19 does not materially change the restrictions on the use of foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises. Circular 19 continues to prohibit foreign-invested enterprises from, among other things, spending Renminbi capital converted from its foreign currency registered capital on expenditures beyond its business scope. On June 9, 2016, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Reforming and Regulating the Administrative Policies of Foreign Exchange Settlement under the Capital Account (“Circular 16”), which applies to all domestic enterprises in China. Circular 16 expands the application scope from only the capital of the foreign-invested enterprises to the capital, foreign debt fund and fund from oversea public offering. Also, Circular 16 allows enterprises to use their foreign exchange capitals under capital accounts allowed by the relevant laws and regulations.

In February 2012, the SAFE promulgated the Stock Option Notice. Under the Stock Option Notice, domestic individuals who participate in equity incentive plans of an overseas listed company are required, through a PRC agent or PRC subsidiary of such listed company, to register with SAFE and complete certain other bank and reporting procedures. The Stock Option Notice simplifies the requirements and procedures for the registration of stock incentive plan participants, especially in respect of the required application documents and the absence of strict requirements on offshore and onshore custodian banks, as were stipulated in the previous rules.
The Circular of Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange Administration Policies on Foreign Direct Investment issued by the SAFE on November 19, 2012 and amended on May 4, 2015 substantially amends and simplifies the foreign exchange procedure. Pursuant to this circular, the opening of various special purpose foreign exchange accounts (e.g., pre-establishment expenses account, foreign exchange capital account, guarantee account), the reinvestment of lawful incomes derived by foreign investors in the PRC (e.g., profit, proceeds of equity transfer, capital reduction, liquidation and early repatriation of investment), and purchase and remittance of foreign exchange as a result of capital reduction, liquidation, early repatriation or share transfer in a foreign-invested enterprise no longer require the SAFE’s approval, and multiple capital accounts for the same entity may be opened in different provinces, which was not possible before. In addition, the SAFE promulgated the Circular on Printing and Distributing the Provisions on Foreign Exchange Administration over Domestic Direct Investment by Foreign Investors and the Supporting Documents in May 2013, as amended in October 2018, which specifies that the administration by the SAFE or its local branches over direct investment by foreign investors in the PRC must be conducted by way of registration and banks shall process foreign exchange business relating to the direct investment in the PRC based on the registration information provided by the SAFE and its branches. On February 13, 2015, the SAFE promulgated the Circular on Further Simplification and Improvement of Foreign Currency Administration Policies on Direct Investment, effective on June 1, 2015, which further simplifies the approval requirements of SAFE upon the direct investment by foreign investors. In particular, instead of applying for approvals from SAFE, entities and individuals are required to apply for foreign exchange registrations of foreign direct investment and overseas direct investment from qualified banks, while the qualified banks, under the supervision of the SAFE, will directly examine the applications and conduct the registration accordingly. On September 12, 2025, the SAFE issued the Notice on Matters Related to Deepening the Reform of Foreign Exchange Administration for Cross-border Investment and Financing, significantly streamlining the approval requirements for foreign direct investment by SAFE.
On July 4, 2014, the SAFE issued the SAFE Circular 37. The SAFE Circular 37 requires PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore special purpose vehicle, for the purpose of overseas investment and financing, with such PRC residents’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests. The SAFE Circular 37 further requires amendment to the registration in the event of any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle, such as any change of basic information (including change of the PRC residents, name and operation term), increase or decrease of capital contribution by the PRC residents, share transfer or exchange, merger, division or other material events. In the event that a PRC resident holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to fulfill the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of that special purpose vehicle may be prohibited from making profit distributions to the offshore parent and from carrying out subsequent cross-border foreign exchange activities, and the special purpose vehicle may be restricted in its ability to contribute additional capital into its PRC subsidiary. Moreover, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liability under the PRC law for evasion of foreign exchange controls.
On January 26, 2017, the SAFE issued the Notice on Improving the Check of Authenticity and Compliance to further Promote Foreign Exchange Control (the “Circular 3”), which continuously implements and improves the policy for outward remittance of foreign exchange profit generated from direct investment. In addition, Circular 3 expands the scope of settlement of exchange for domestic loans in foreign currencies, and it is allowed to transfer inward overseas loans under domestic guarantee. The debtor may, directly or indirectly, transfer inward the funds under guarantee by domestic lending, equity investment or other measures.
According to the Foreign Investment Law and its implementing regulations, a foreign investor may, in accordance with the law, freely transfer inward and outward its contributions, profits, capital gains, income from asset disposal, royalties of intellectual property rights, compensation or indemnity legally obtained, income from liquidation and so on made or derived within the territory of the PRC in RMB or a foreign currency. No entity or individual may illegally restrict the transfer inward or outward in terms of the currency, amount, frequency and so on of such transfer.

Dividend Distribution
The principal laws and regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreign owned enterprises include the Company Law of the PRC, the Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law of the PRC, and the Implementing Rules of the Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law of the PRC, the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC, and the Implementing Regulations on the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC.
Under the new regime of foreign investment, foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC, being treated equally with domestic companies, may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, as determined in accordance with the PRC accounting standards and regulations. When distributing its after-tax profit, a company in the PRC is required to set aside as statutory common reserves of 10% of its after-tax profit, until the accumulative amount of such reserves reaches 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Where the aggregate balance of the company’s statutory common reserve is insufficient to cover any loss the company made in the previous financial year, the current financial year’s profits shall first be used to cover the loss before any statutory common reserve is drawn. In addition to the statutory common reserve, the company may draw a discretionary common reserve from its after-tax profits. Both the statutory common reserve and the discretionary common reserve may not be distributed to equity owners in the event of liquidation. A company is not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset and the common reserve is drawn. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year.
Intellectual Property Rights
Patent
The PRC has domestic laws for the protection of rights in copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets. The PRC is also a signatory to the world’s major intellectual property conventions, including:
● Convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO Convention) (June 4, 1980);
● Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (March 19, 1985);
● Patent Cooperation Treaty (January 1, 1994); and
● The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) (November 11, 2001).
Patents in the PRC are governed by the China Patent Law (March 12, 1984), as amended and its Implementing Regulations (January 19, 1985), as amended.
The PRC is a signatory to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, in accordance with which any person who has duly filed an application for a patent in one signatory country shall enjoy, for the purposes of filing in the other countries, a right of priority during the period fixed in the convention (12 months for inventions and utility models, and 6 months for industrial designs).
The China Patent Law covers three kinds of patents, namely, patents for inventions, utility models and designs. The Chinese patent system adopts the principle of first to file, which means where multiple patent applications are filed for the same invention, a patent will be granted only to the party that filed the application first. Consistent with international practice, the PRC only allows the patenting of inventions or utility models that possess the characteristics of novelty, inventiveness and practical applicability. For a design to be patentable, it must not be identical with or similar to any design which has been publicly disclosed in publications in the country or abroad before the date of filing or has been publicly used in the country before the date of filing, and must not be in conflict with any prior right of another.
PRC law provides that anyone wishing to exploit the patent of another must enter into a written licensing contract with the patent holder and pay the patent holder a fee. One rather broad exception to this, however, is where a party possesses the means to exploit a patent for inventions or utility models under certain circumstances but cannot obtain a license from the patent holder on reasonable terms and in a reasonable period of time, the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC is authorized to grant a compulsory license. A compulsory license can also be granted where a national emergency or any extraordinary state of affairs occurs or where the public interest so requires. The patent holder may appeal such a decision within three months from receiving notification by filing a suit in people’s court in the PRC.

PRC law defines patent infringement as the exploitation of a patent without the authorization of the patent holder. A patent holder who believes his patent is being infringed may file a civil suit or file a complaint with a local PRC intellectual property administrative authority, which may order the infringer to stop the infringing acts. A preliminary injunction may be issued by the people’s court upon the patentee’s or the interested parties’ request before any legal proceedings are instituted or during the proceedings. Evidence preservation and property preservation measures are also available both before and during the litigation. Damages in the case of patent infringement are determined as either the loss suffered by the patent holder arising from the infringement or the benefit gained by the infringer from the infringement. If it is difficult to ascertain damages in this manner, damages may be determined with reference to the license fee under a contractual license.
Trademark
The PRC Trademark Law, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993, 2001, 2013 and 2019, with its implementation rules adopted in 2002 and revised in 2014, protects registered trademarks. The Trademark Office of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants trademark registrations for a term of ten years which are renewable upon maturity. Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record.
Computer Software Copyright
The Regulations on Computer Software Protection, adopted in 1991 and revised in 2001 and 2013, are enacted in accordance with the Copyright Law of the PRC, for the purposes of protecting the rights and interest of copyright owners of computer software. The National Copyright Administration (“NCAC”) is in charge of the administration of the registration of software copyright and the NCAC accredits the China Copyright Protection Center as the body for software registration. A registration certificate of the computer software copyright is a preliminary proof of the registered items. The NCAC encourages the registration of software copyright and gives emphasized protection to the registered software.
