Foreign Investment in China

Direct Foreign Investment in China


Summary

 

China has released a newCatalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Invested Industries. The catalogue is a legal document listing what industries are open for foreign investors. It has been revised and re-released many times since its creation in 1995. The new edition is the 7th version since the catalogue’s inception. The official 2017 catalogue was published on the 28th June 2017 and extended nationwide on the 28th of July 2017. Through the catalogue,several industries are becoming more deregulated and opened up for foreign investors. These deregulations involve removing shareholding limits or nationality requirements for partners on certain sectors for foreign investors as well as changing some restricted industries to permitted industries. The 2017 catalogue is structured into two categories; the ‘Encouraged’ category and the ‘Special Administrative Measures for the Entry of Foreign Investment’ (Negative List). The Negative List is split into two parts; restricted and prohibited.

 

·          PRC Parties control means that the company must be controlled by Chinese nationals.


·         Shareholding limit means that restrictions are placed on the percentage of the company a foreigner can own. This may              vary depending on industry.

 

·           Nationality requirement means that one major partner of a firm must have Chinese citizenship

 

·           Restricted catalogue entries mean that foreign investors may face additional restrictions when investing in these                         industries.

 

·           Permitted catalogue entries mean that foreign investors may take part in these industries with no additional                             restrictions or assistance. Every industry that is neither illegal in China nor mentioned in the

 

The Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Invested Industries falls under the permitted category.

 

·           Encouraged catalogue entries mean that these industries may be eligible for incentives or preferential treatment.

 

·           Prohibited industries are off limits to investors

·          Encouraged and Restricted catalogue entries means that foreign investors may see the benefits offered by PRC but                 are also subject to certain regulations and restrictions
