What if the company goes bankrupt and the legal person has no money?

Legal analysis:

If the bankrupt has no funds and cannot pay off the debts due, and the assets are insufficient to pay off all the debts or obviously lack solvency, his creditors or debtors shall file a bankruptcy application with the court where the company is located and enter the bankruptcy liquidation procedure. A limited liability company is an enterprise legal person, its shareholders are liable to the company to the extent of their capital contribution, and all its assets are liable to the company's debts. If a limited company only undertakes assets and liabilities and cannot undertake debts, it shall apply for bankruptcy and enter bankruptcy liquidation procedures. The company's debts have nothing to do with the personal property of the company's shareholders, and it is not allowed to claim compensation with the personal property of the shareholders.
