The branch does not have its own independent property, and the property it actually occupies and uses is included in the company's balance sheet as the company's property, and the company is liable for the debts arising from its business activities with all its assets. The subsidiary owns independent property and is liable for its operating liabilities to the extent of all its property, while the parent company is only the largest shareholder and is liable for its operating liabilities to the extent of its capital contribution to the subsidiary. 3, whether to set up the same procedures as the establishment of the company. The branch is established by the company according to law.
