If the term of office of the supervisor expires and the supervisor is not re-elected in a timely manner upon the expiration of the term of office, or if the resignation of the supervisor during the term of office causes the members of the board of supervisors to fall below the quorum, the original supervisor shall still need to perform his duties as a supervisor in accordance with the provisions of laws, administrative regulations and the articles of association of the company before the re-elected supervisor takes office.

According to Article 52 of the Company Law of the People's Republic of China, the term of office of a supervisor is three years. Supervisors may be re-elected upon expiration of their term of office. Where a supervisor fails to be re-elected in a timely manner upon the expiration of his or her term of office, or where a supervisor resigns during his term of office, resulting in a lower than the quorum of the board of supervisors, the original supervisor shall still perform his duties as a supervisor in accordance with the provisions of laws, administrative regulations, and the articles of association of the company before the re-elected supervisor takes office.
