　　Article 4　If a State-owned enterprise is completely restructured into a wholly State-owned limited liability company in accordance with the Company Law， the debts of the original enterprise shall be borne by the limited liability company that results from the restructuring.

　　Article 5　If an enterprise realizes equity participation of another party by way of capital and share increase or assignment of part of its equity， and is thereby completely restructured into a limited liability company or a company limited by shares， the debts of the original enterprise shall be borne by the newly established company after the restructuring.

If the assignment of the debt has not been notified to， or has been notified to but not approved by， the creditor， the civil liability shall be borne by the original enterprise. If the original enterprise is unable to repay the debt and the creditor asserts its claim against the newly established company， the newly established company shall bear joint and several civil liability for the debts with the original enterprise to the extent of the property received from the original enterprise.
