The translation of the Chinese Civil Code posted on the Chinese Congress website is a disaster. See Why I decide to translate the Chinese Civil Code by myself.

Section 56 A sole proprietorship's debt shall be assumed to the extent of an individual's property if only the individual has been running the business, or the family's property if it's a family-owned business or it's hard to tell whether it's a family-owned business.

A rural contractor's debt shall be assumed to the extent of the family property of the rural contractor who works for the rural land contracting and business operation. The debt shall be assumed to the extent of the part of the family members if only part of the family members is conducting the contracting and business operation.
