Shareholders can make capital contributions in currency, or in kind, intellectual property rights, land use rights and other non-monetary properties that can be valued in currency and transferred according to law; However, except for the property that cannot be used as capital contribution as stipulated by laws and administrative regulations.

For example, the foreign joint venture (shareholder) of a Sino-foreign cooperative limited liability company contributes at a discount in foreign currency (such as US dollars). Where shareholders make capital contributions in different currencies, they shall remit their capital contributions into the same currency according to the listed exchange rate (middle price) announced by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the day when the company account is to be established, so as to determine the capital contribution.
