flag China's new investment law grants foreign firms equal access to most markets, boosting confidence and integration.

flag China's Foreign Investment Law, effective under President Xi Jinping, has reformed investment rules by adopting pre-entry national treatment and a negative list system, granting foreign investors equal market access to domestic firms except in explicitly restricted sectors. flag This shift from a previous positive list system reduces regulatory uncertainty, limits government discretion, and enhances transparency, fairness, and market-driven resource allocation. flag Ongoing efforts to shorten the negative list aim to further open the economy, eliminate hidden barriers, and align China’s investment environment with international standards, boosting investor confidence, competition, innovation, and global economic integration.
