Abstract
The objective of this paper is to understand the extent of inter-locking directorates among mainland Chinese companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). This study also seeks to understand if these mainland Chinese companies were different from those Chinese companies in Singapore in terms of the social network structure of its board of directors. It has been well known and indeed as part of the Chinese culture, the concept of quanxi or social networking is important. However, in the context of corporate governance, the concern is if too many directors are interlocked, will the concept of quanxi be counterproductive in the practice of attaining high standards of governance of the listed companies.
