Is a company limited by shares a listed company?

A joint stock limited company is not necessarily a listed company, but a listed company must be a joint stock limited company. The reason is that a joint stock limited company refers to an enterprise established by raising capital or funds through issuing and subscribing shares, and a listed company refers to a joint stock limited company whose publicly issued shares are listed and traded on the stock exchange with the approval of the securities management department authorized by the State Council or the State Council.

Shares issued through corporate bonds can be divided into registered bonds and bearer bonds. When a registered bond is transferred, it must be endorsed in addition to the bond; Bearer bonds take effect immediately after transfer.
