There are different rights and obligations between subsidiaries and subsidiaries.

Legal analysis: the obligations and rights of a branch company are less than those of a subsidiary company, so it cannot bear civil liability independently. The legal status of a branch company is completely different from that of a subsidiary company, and it has no independent legal status. A branch is a branch or subsidiary directly engaged in business activities of the head office.

Legal basis: Branch companies can be established in Article 14 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Company Law. The establishment of a branch company shall apply to the company registration authority for registration and obtain a business license. A branch company does not have legal person status, and its civil liability shall be borne by the company.

A company may set up subsidiaries, which have legal personality and independently bear civil liabilities according to law.
