Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main goal of the Draft Foreign Investment Law in China?
The goal is to address existing legal issues regarding market access and transparency for foreign investors in China.

It is a regulatory framework that requires foreign investments to be approved by authorities before they can be established, which the new law aims to reform.
What are Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)?
VIEs are complex legal structures often used by foreign investors to bypass Chinese restrictions in certain sectors; the draft law proposes new ways to regulate them.
Does the draft law provide protection against expropriation?
The analysis examines whether the proposed changes offer better legal safeguards for foreign assets against government seizure or expropriatory measures.

Lack of clear regulations and unpredictable approval processes have historically created barriers for international companies entering the Chinese market.
