Foreign Investment Guide of the People's Republic of China (2023 Edition)

In October 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) that China is striving to "promote high-standard opening-up. We will leverage the strengths of China's enormous market, attract global resources and production factors with our strong domestic economy, and amplify the interplay between domestic and international markets and resources. This will position us to improve the level and quality of trade and investment cooperation." According to the 2023 Report on the Work of the Government, China will "intensify efforts to attract and utilize foreign investment. We should expand market access and continue to open up modern services sector. We should ensure national treatment for foreign-funded companies. We should take active steps to see China join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and accede to other high-standard economic and trade agreements, and steadily expand institutional opening up by proactively adopting relevant rules, regulations, management, and standards. We should continue to leverage the role of imports and exports in driving economic growth. We should improve services for foreign-funded companies and facilitate the launch of landmark foreign-funded projects."
