Can the shareholders of a limited company be one person?

Legal analysis: the new company law limits the maximum number of shareholders of a limited liability company to no more than 50; But there is no limit to the minimum number of people, that is to say, a one-person limited liability company can be established. Abolish the provisions of the old company law on the number of shareholders of a limited liability company (there must be more than two shareholders, but no more than 50). Shareholders can be natural persons or legal persons, and both natural persons and legal persons can set up limited liability companies. Article 59 stipulates that the minimum registered capital of a one-person limited liability company is RMB 100,000. Shareholders shall pay their capital contribution in full at one time in accordance with the Articles of Association.
