Can a parent company executive be an executive in a subsidiary company?

Legal analysis: the senior management of the parent company can become the director of the joint venture company established by its wholly-owned subsidiary and other companies.

Legal basis: Branch companies can be established in Article 14 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Company Law. The establishment of a branch company shall apply to the company registration authority for registration and obtain a business license. A branch company does not have legal person status, and its civil liability shall be borne by the company.

A company may set up subsidiaries, which have legal personality and independently bear civil liabilities according to law.
