This book aims to answer the question of how Chinese financial holding companies should structure their shareholder rights protection mechanisms in a global context. And this book uses the two-part approach to clarify the issue of shareholder rights protection of financial holding companies. The first part describes the external protection mechanism (financial market regulation), and the second part describes the internal protection mechanism (internal corporate governance). Moreover, this book mainly adopts three methodologies, including doctrinal analysis, comparative analysis (Chinese law, French law, UK law and US law) and historical analysis, to illustrate the viewpoints. And in the light of the comprehensive and comparative analysis, this book provides an insightful perspective to deal with the problem of protecting shareholders' rights in Chinese financial holding companies. The novelty of this approach lies in its comprehensiveness. On the one hand, it analyses shareholder rights protection mechanisms, including external and internal mechanisms. On the other hand, it provides a comprehensive overview of the regulation of financial holding companies in all 193 member states of the United Nations. At the same time, its comparative approach focuses on Chinese law, American law, English law and French law. Such peer comparisons are relatively rare.

The target audience for this book includes interested laypersons, undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers. Both legal and financial markets are the main target markets.

Compares how financial holding companies protect shareholder rights through financial market regulation Deals with some of the important issues after the Chinese financial holding company regulation in 2020 Focuses on proposals from Chinese, American, English, and French law for regulating financial holding companies
