A large number of enterprises in China can only play up and down the five rings; the six to seven rings are those that can pay taxes according to law and participate in public welfare undertakings; those who are able to meet the needs of the society and solve social problems as their own missions are the ten enterprises.

In his speech, Professor Guo Yi of Beijing Technology and Business University commented on the declaration of abandoning the principle of shareholder supremacy and paying more attention to the rights of stakeholders in the us round table conference August 2019. He held that the logic of shareholder supremacy is a long-term process of negotiation between other stakeholders, and the result is determined by the contribution of different stakeholders to the long-term value creation of enterprises. Relative shareholders, whether other stakeholders can get equal discourse rights in the process of corporate governance is the root of whether CSR can really land and gain equal bargaining power.

In the current social and economic environment, the awakening of stakeholder's sense of responsibility, and the trade-off between long-term interests and short-term interests of business leaders are all important factors affecting CSR. While specific CSR practices exist international standards such as ISO26000 and SDG, it should encourage enterprises to develop their own CSR framework and guidelines with their own characteristics.
