Resolving Corporate Insolvencies In China: The Gap Between Law And Reality, Dr. Zhang Zinian
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
This article examines how corporate insolvencies in China, the second largest economy, are handled under the current legislation, the China Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of 2006.

The author argues that the application of the tax benefit rule should not depend on the existence of a recovery, but instead should depend on whether an event occurs that is inconsistent with the assumptions underlying the prior deduction; recovery merely is a manifestation of an inconsistent event.
