Stocks and corporate bonds are widely used in the direct financing instruments. In international capital market, corporate bonds are used more and more and stocks are used less and less. On the contrary, more Chinese enterprises are willing to issue shares, not to flight bonds. The speed of stock's developing is faster than corporate bonds'. In China, it is normal that unlisted companies strive to go public and listed companies try to ration shares or placing, but this appearance will be thought strange in Western countries. Why is there so different? How to make more and more Chinese enterprises choose corporate bonds and more investor select corporate bonds? This is the reason why the author selected this topic.In the dissertation, after introducing capital market in Western countries and in China, the author analyzes all sorts of impediments to corporate bonds' growth in China. At last, some pieces of tactics are given.Part Ⅰ gives a description for present situation of capital market in Western countries and in China. After the difference between them been compared, the author analyzes the reason why they are so different. Moreover, the author also believes corporate bonds would hold up developing of Chinese economy if it does not pay enough attention.Part Ⅱdescribes the major conditions and impediments to corporate bonds' growth. At first, the author believes that some conditions will give some help to corporate bonds' growth, such as a good economic environment at present, low interest rate, increasing of corporate bonds' varieties, etc. In spite of these conditions, there are four sorts of difficulties in corporate bonds' developing as following: firstly, some of national policy discriminates against corporate bonds. For example, interest rate of corporate bonds is not illegal if it is higher 40% than interest rate of saving when they have same term of redemption.

The unequitable policy should be canceled which limits corporate bonds' developing. Moreover, it will be helpful that the state stock can go public.

Under the pressure of loaners and shareholders, the managers will choose the way that is not harmful to loaners and shareholders.

Style of interest payment should be suited to cash flowing. In section four, the author gives some pieces of suggestion to control the risk of flight bonds. As to the rate risk, the enterprises can design redemption provisions when flight bonds.
