Can the person in charge of the branch be forced to change?

Legal analysis: Yes, it needs the resolution of the head office. The branch does not have the qualification of independent legal person, and the person in charge is appointed by the head office and can be replaced according to the resolution of the shareholders' meeting. If the company changes its legal person by force, it needs the letter of dismissal of the original legal representative and the letter of appointment of the current legal person.

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.
