Can the parent company apply for subsidiary qualification?

A subsidiary cannot use the qualifications of the parent company. Although there is actually a controlling relationship between the parent company and the subsidiary company, both parties have legal personality in law and independently bear civil liability according to law. The parent company and its subsidiaries have independent legal person qualifications, and the qualifications of the parent company do not apply to the subsidiaries.
