Section 156. Dissolution of corporation; trustees

      In case of the voluntary dissolution of a China Trade Act
    corporation or revocation of its certificate of incorporation, the
    directors of the corporation shall be trustees for the creditors
    and stockholders of the corporation; except that upon application
    to the United States Court for China by any interested party, or
    upon the motion of any court of competent jurisdiction in any
    proceeding pending before it, the court may in its discretion
    appoint as the trustees such persons, other than the directors, as
    it may determine. The trustees are invested with the powers, and
    shall do all acts, necessary to wind up the affairs of the
    corporation and divide among the stockholders according to their
    respective interests the property of the corporation remaining
    after all obligations against it have been settled. For the
    purposes of this section the trustees may sue and be sued in the
    name of the corporation and shall be jointly and severally liable
    to the stockholders and creditors of the corporation to the extent
    of the property coming into their hands as trustees.
