The validity of the mortgage will not be affected no matter if it is registered or not; however, if not registered, the parties concerned shall not challenge any bona fide third party. This Revised Version is set to further clarify the registration formalities of mortgage on movable property.<\/p>\n The Revised Version states that when enterprises, privately-owned businesses, and agricultural producers and operators intend to create mortgages on moveable property, they shall register the mortgages with the county-level market regulators where the mortgagors are domiciled. As a reform, an online system called the National Market Regulation Business System for the Registration of Mortgages on Movable Property (the \u201cSystem\u201d)1<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0was also launched in the Revised Version, where the concerned mortgagor can apply for registration, alteration or cancellation of mortgages through such System. The System will also serve as an information disclosure platform on which public can browse and inquiry relevant mortgage information. However, the Revised Version adds that specific implementation rules for operating the System will be formulated later separately.<\/p>\n (http:\/\/gkml.samr.gov.cn\/nsjg\/wjs\/201902\/t20190222_291043.html<\/a>)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”50″ css_animation=””][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1517373139965{background-image: url(http:\/\/asiallians.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Picture1.png?id=18554) !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]CPC Central Committee and State Council Unveil Provisions to Toughen Supervision Over Food Safety<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_bottom=”15″ css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (“CPC”) and the General Office of the State Council have recently issued the Provisions on the Food Safety Accountability System for Local Party and Government Leading Officials (the “Provisions”) which has taken effect from February 5, 2019.<\/p>\n It is stressed in the Provisions that food safety will be included into the performance assessment of local party and government leading officials (\u201cOfficials\u201d), who shall be held liable if they were found the following acts:<\/p>\n 1) Fail to perform their duties in the implementation of food safety work; The purpose of the Provisions is to push local governments to put food safety work into their development plans and promote Officials to strengthen their supervision on food safety.<\/p>\n (http:\/\/www.gov.cn\/zhengce\/2019-02\/24\/content_5368139.htm<\/a>)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”50″ css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”50″ css_animation=””][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1517373139965{background-image: url(http:\/\/asiallians.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Picture1.png?id=18554) !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]On February 18, 2019, CPC Central Committee and State Council Unveil Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_bottom=”100″ css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (“CPC”) and the State Council have recently released the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (the “Outline”).<\/p>\n The Outline is one great development structure for the areas covering Hongkong, Macao, and 9 cities in Guangdong Province, namely Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing (the \u201cBay Area\u201d), where are the most economically prosperous regions in China.
