Abstract: Abstract Corporate compliance refers to a governance framework oriented toward the prevention and control of compliance risks. As early as 2006, Chinese enterprises in the finance, securities, and futures sectors began embracing the concept of corporate compliance. In conducting overseas activities—such as investment, public listings, and cross-border mergers and acquisitions—these enterprises gradually adopted compliance management systems to meet host-country regulatory requirements and enhance their international competitiveness. In the years that followed, as foreign governments and international organizations imposed increasingly stringent compliance obligations on corporate operations, more Chinese enterprises involved in international trade and overseas business began establishing specialized compliance systems. With the deepening of China’s reform and opening-up, numerous foreign enterprises conducting business, trade, and investment in China brought the concept of corporate compliance into the domestic corporate landscape. The compliance systems they implemented—anchored in risk prevention and control—have exerted a profound and lasting influence on Chinese enterprises. Corporate compliance is increasingly regarded as a form of strategic soft power—crucial for building corporate credibility, accessing market opportunities, and strengthening competitive advantage.
