China’s Ministry of Commerce has published a draft law that will see a major shake-up of the country’s foreign investment regime.

This draft legislation, once issued, will replace the current legal scheme regulating foreign investments in China and will have major implications for overseas investors looking to continue, expand, or begin operations in China. The new rules will grant foreign investors better and easier access to Chinese markets. However, for industries which are deemed to have national security implications, the government will impose further scrutiny in these cases.
