In order to standardize the governance of listed companies and protect the rights and interests of small and medium-sized shareholders, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the Measures for the Administration of Independent Directors of Listed Companies. In view of the unique advantages and differences between foreign independent directors and local independent directors in terms of independence guarantee, international background advantages, reputation mechanism role and professional ability contribution, this article takes PetroChina Company Limited (referred to as “PetroChina”) as an example and analyzes the original intention and consideration of introducing a foreign independent director in detail.
