'The roles that the Chinese Government plays in the reorganisation of listed companies under the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law (EBL) is a fascinating topic with great practical significance. Scholars have commented on it, but this is the first sustained and in-depth study using a combination of doctrinal research, historical research, empirical research and case studies. This comprehensive coverage enables readers to have a holistic, nuanced and evidence-based understanding of the operation of the EBL in practice and in particular, the reorganisation of listed companies. Lucidly written and cogently argued, Professor Zhao should be commended for making a weighty contribution to the developing scholarship on the EBL.' Wee Meng Seng, Deputy Chairman, Director of Corporate Law, National University of Singapore
