Registered Capital:  

•       Registered Capital is the amount of funds that the Chinese government requires of foreign investors to contribute to their projects in China. The Chinese government sets requirements for the minimum amount of registered capital to start a business. Registered Capital must be of an amount greater than the minimum requirement of the China Company Law. The Registered Capital can only come from the foreign investors, and must be actually paid into the company bank account then verified by an independent certified accounting agency in China. The amount of registered capital can be increased but official procedures will be required. Registered Capital must be no less than 70% of the Total Investment Quota; however, the ratio may be decreased when the amount of Registered Capital exceeds US$ 3 million.
•      If you do looking for a minimum registered capital, for instance RMB 30,000, this means you will run out of money pretty soon (considering salary of employees, rent, equipment etc. ), which leads to increased costs in reapplying for permission to increase capital, additional licensing fees and renewals of business licenses and so on. The WFOE needs funding via it's registered capital until it's about to support itself from it's own cash flow.
•        However the amount of registered capital is dependent upon factors like Scope of Business and Location.
•     According to former experience we would suggest minimum registered capital to establish Software WOFE: 450,000 RMB in Shanghai
