Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze legal obstacles of overseas M&A of Chinese railway enterprises and propose corresponding legal countermeasures. This article analyzes the motive to strengthen M&A of Chinese railway enterprises on the high-speed railway background, which have given rise to the increase of legal obstacles in overseas M&A. From the perspective of institutions, domestic legal obstacles with respect to national security review, anti-monopoly investigation, labor laws and IPR laws. The conclusion is that China should formulate overseas investment insurance laws to reduce risk in overseas M&A, improve government regulation efficiency, develop supporting policies for strategic industries considering the strategic position of railway output and strengthen international cooperation to protect IPR of railway enterprises.
