Can shareholders be supervisors if they are companies?

Legal analysis: the shareholder is a company and can be a supervisor. The law does not prohibit the shareholders of the company from serving as the company's supervisors, but only stipulates that the company's directors and senior management personnel may not concurrently serve as supervisors. Therefore, shareholders can serve as supervisors as long as they are not directors or senior managers of the company.

Legal basis: Article 105 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), when the shareholders' meeting elects directors and supervisors, the cumulative voting system may be implemented according to the provisions of the articles of association or the resolutions of the shareholders' meeting.

The cumulative voting system referred to in this Law means that when a general meeting of shareholders elects directors or supervisors, each share enjoys the same voting rights as the number of directors or supervisors to be elected, and the voting rights owned by shareholders can be used collectively.
