Cooperative Joint Ventures offer more flexibility.
They can be organized either as a limited liability company or as a non-legal person, in which the partners are subject to unlimited liability and thus entirely liable for any losses the joint venture may incur. Most Cooperative Joint Ventures are established as limited liability companies.

Unlike Equity Joint Ventures, Cooperative Joint Ventures allow for profits to be allocated according to the partners' discretion.
One party may recover its investment through an accelerated repayment structure, and the other party may become the owner of the joint venture's assets after termination of the joint venture.

The legal system in China and the business climate are changing in favor of Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises and the restructuring of joint ventures. Joint ventures can be restructured into WFOEs.
In another scenario, the Chinese side may be transformed into a "silent partner" without significant decision-making powers by reducing their equity stake. To change the equity structure, the foreign investor may contribute additional capital without the Chinese partner increasing their original investment.
