The foreign investment negative lists for nationwide application and for Pilot Free Trade Zones were published on June 24th last year. When will the 2021 version negative lists come out? How are things going and which areas will be opened further?(2021-06-24)

The Chinese government has revised the foreign investment negative lists for nationwide application and for Pilot Free Trade Zones for four consecutive years since 2017, reducing the number of special administrative measures from 93 and 122 to 33 and 30, rolling out significant opening-up measures in finance and automobile industries. Easing market access for foreign investment has pushed forward opening-up and boosted confidence of foreign investors.

According to the plan of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, MOFCOM and NDRC have jointly launched the revision of the negative lists to produce a 2021 version, and have broadly collected inputs and comments from various stakeholders. Currently we are working with related departments to study the inputs and comments received, and will move forward more swiftly. Thank you.
