But in reality, the phenomenon that dishonest shareholder violates capital contribution responsibility, that is to say, withdrawal of capital, occurs frequently.The behavior of withdrawal of capital violates capital keeping principle, which not only destroys effective operation and business reputation of the corporation, but also damages the interest of the corporation and other shareholders. More important, it can do harm to the creditor who makes a deal with the corporation for trusting in the corporation credit appearance, which as a return, affects the security of social trade. A very important cause why these cases occur so frequently is the defects of corporation law system currently in effect in our country, which obstacle the formalization of capital contribution supervision and restriction mechanism among shareholders.
