Your Letter Requesting for Instructions on the Interpretation of Article 5 of the Interim Provisions of the State Administration

the Proportion of the Registered Capital and the Total Investment Amount of Chinese-foreign Equity Joint Ventures (hereinafter referred

Chinese-foreign equity joint ventures that increase their investment upon approval and registration, the supplementary registered
capital should be calculated in relation to the increased investment and the proportion should be determined in accordance with Article

capital 2.5 million US dollars, and then an increased investment worth 2 million US dollars is approved; in that case, the supplementary
registered capital should be 7/10 of the 2 million or 1.4 million and the total registered capital after altered registration should
be 3.9 million US dollars (i.e. 1.4 million plus 2.5 million).
