I believe in China in these cases the government would take over the company and charge the executives. Maybe we should take the same approach.



Maybe, maybe not. All depends on how many friends you have in the party, and whether the current leading faction sees you as a threat or not


More often than not, the investors take some losses (foreign investors are usually wiped out), and the company is reconstituted with the same executives holding similar positions (and equity in the new company). This is done because large companies are usually politically well-connected, and the various levels of government in China prefer stability over rule-of-law.
