There are now about 200 foreign law firms with registered offices in mostly Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong (Regulated by a separate authority, the Hong Kong Law Society).

With China’s 12th Five-Year Plan in 2011 shifting its economic focus from coastal to inner cities, such as Shenzhen, Tianjin, Chongqing, Chengdu, Dalian, Wuhan and Qingdao, all having inhabitants of at least one million.
