  • Doing Business in China
    Doing Business In China DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA INTRODUCTION On January 1, 2020, the Foreign Investment Law of the People’s Republic of China and its implementing regulations became effective, ending an era of thirty years during which foreign investment in China was dominated by a series of legislations specifically formulated for foreign-invested enterprises (“FIEs”). This paper provides in detail the evolution of the Chinese legal system with particular emphasis on an up-to-date overview of the current status of the law, policy, and practice relating to foreign investment in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”, which, for purposes of this paper, excludes the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan). This paper also discusses the relevant considerations involved in choosing the form of doing business in China, identifies major issues confronting potential foreign investors, and presents the legal requirements and practical issues associated with various methods of investment from establishment to exit.

SHANGHAI . SHENZHEN . HONG KONG www.hankunlaw.com Legal Updates 1. New Trends in Overseas Investment Administration (Authors: Gloria XU, Claire XIAO) On August 4, 2017, the Guiding Opinions on Further Guiding and Regulating the Direction of Overseas Investment (Guo Ban Fa [2017] No. 74) " (the “Guiding Opinions”) was jointly promulgated, with the approval of the State Council, by the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), the People's Bank of China (“PBOC”) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (“MFA”). The Guiding Opinions have drawn wide attention by further categorizing overseas direct investments as “encouraged,” “restricted” or “prohibited” based upon the previous “negative list” for overseas direct investment. In this article, we will summarize the main content of the Guiding Opinions by comparing them to the existing principles governing overseas direct investment in light of recent trends related to the supervision of overseas direct investment. Existing approval and filing system for overseas direct investment On September 6, 2014, MOFCOM promulgated the Measures for the Administration of Overseas Investment (MOFCOM Order [2014] No. 3) (“Administrative Measures”), which enacted a “primary filing, supplemental approval” regulatory system for overseas direct investment, and provided that, based upon specific circumstances, overseas direct investment must be filed with or approved by the government. Under the Administrative Measures, overseas direct investment projects that are not referenced in the “negative list” need only to be filed with MOFCOM or its counterparts at the provincial level.
