What are the main characteristics of corporate bonds in China?

Legal analysis: the reason why bonds are corporate bonds lies in the main characteristics of corporate bonds: repayment of principal and interest, which is fundamentally different from other securities. First of all, corporate bonds reflect the creditor-debtor relationship between its issuers and investors. Therefore, corporate bonds should be repaid at maturity, not "investment" or "gift", but a "loan" relationship. Secondly, corporate bonds should not only be repaid at maturity, but also pay a certain amount of "interest" in addition to the principal, which is the "return" for investors to hand over their own funds to issuers for use within a period of time. It is "investment income" for investors and "capital cost" for issuers. There are two ways to determine interest: fixed interest and floating interest. There are two ways to pay interest: one-time payment at maturity and interval payment (such as once a year and once every six months). 1, corporate bonds are necessary securities; 2. Corporate bonds are monetary securities and financing securities; 3. Corporate bonds are securities that can be transferred, mortgaged and circulated; 4. Corporate bonds are warrants. 5. Corporate bonds are repaid with corporate profits, with high risks and high returns.
