Derivative actions, which allow individual shareholders to sue controlling shareholders and managers on behalf of the company, are designed to deter and combat mismanagement. However, the need to balance the interests of minority shareholders and corporate efficiency in a country舗s company law demands legal crafting that is both of a high order and responsive to the country舗s distinctive character, and solutions in this respect are quite different across jurisdictions. China, the second-largest economy in the world today, therefore merits special consideration.
