Shareholder derivative action system is a new type of action system in China.It consists of entity criterion and procedural regulation. Chinese "Company Law" of the derivative action system has made provisions in principle. As well as,it provides a foundation to establish the procedural regulation. In order to regulate comprehensively the system of shareholder derivative action , not only entity criterion need to be refined and improved, but also procedural regulation .
