This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Zhe Jiang Li Zi Yuan FoodLtd's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.

Insider Ownership Of Zhe Jiang Li Zi Yuan FoodLtd
The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves.
I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.
It seems insiders own a significant proportion of Zhe Jiang Li Zi Yuan Food Co.,Ltd.. It has a market capitalization of just CN¥5.3b, and insiders have CN¥1.6b worth of shares in their own names.

If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report.
