The Chinese government has all along attached great importance to providing services for FIEs. FIEs are also Chinese businesses in nature, playing a key role in pursuing high-quality economic development and safeguarding stable global industrial and supply chains.

To address the impact of frequent, sporadic Covid-19 resurgence on business activities, the Chinese government has taken proactive and targeted steps to ensure smooth transportation channels, optimize traffic control measures, reroute emergency supplies, and secure supply of key materials, in a bid to help the affected businesses, FIEs included, to overcome the difficulties. MOFCOM has worked with relevant authorities and local governments to help FIEs solve problems of production restart, entry of personnel, and logistics and transport.

In the next step, we will further leverage the role of the special task force for key foreign-invested projects and work with relevant authorities and local governments in an all-out effort to see that all relevant measures be implemented, to address particular difficulties and problems encountered by FIEs through coordination, and to help ensure that companies can operate while effectively containing the virus. Thank you.
