China's Company Law was established in 1993, when the controlling shareholder of the company law almost no restrictions, in this case, the minority shareholders in a relatively weak position. As China's market-oriented economy has become increasingly active, the company (especially Ltd.) internal controls were against the legitimate rights and interests of minority shareholders, Company Law of 93 has seriously hindered the normal development of their companies. In order to regular order of the market economy and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the minority shareholders, and enhance the international competitiveness of companies. In 2005, China revised the "Company Law" and established a shareholder derivative action system.Shareholder derivative action isn't a native-born system; it is an "exotic".
