International Business Expansion plan:
Expanding business internationally is among the toughest yet most rewarding business decisions if well executed. Firms operating in international markets are often concerned with leveraging their core competencies in international markets to compete. For this to be possible the companies need to adhere to the regulations of doing business in each and every one of their operating environments. The regulatory landscape for international businesses is often diverse and challenging due to the diverse systems of regulations that have to be adhered to, and have to be aligned with company's business objectives. This international business expansion plan analyses legal concerns that will face the company in expanding its business operations to China. China has been a first growing emerging economy with very high prospectus for expansion growth and potentially higher profits for the company.

In countries with code laws, company laws are often the determinants of business standards since they are often very detailed taking into account every aspect of the business environment (Cueto, 2010). China's legal system is a code law system with no strict precedential concept for case law. Each case stands on its own and the decision is its own without being influenced by other cases or binds by another court (Underwood, 2002). This implies that in doing business in China it is imperative that all the legal regulations that are required be followed to the letter since in civil law there are no analogical arguments for not complying with the law. This implies that in every major business decision that is made, it is imperative that the legal approach be factored in.
