Addressing a press conference organised by the State Council Information Office here today, a relevant official of the Ministry of Commerce said the ministry would launch a series of measures to promote foreign investment and improve the system and mechanism of opening up to the outside world at a high level.
The official expressed the view that we will continue to ease access to the foreign capital market, revise and issue a new version of the negative list of access to foreign capital as soon as possible, achieve nationwide approval of restrictive measures in the manufacturing sector, and promote the orderly expansion of opening up to the outside world in telecommunications, the Internet, education, culture, medical care and other areas. We will also promote pilot demonstrations to expand opening to the outside world in the service sector.
At the same time, the Measures for the Management of Strategic Investments by Foreign Investors in Listed Companies will be revised and published. Furthermore, restrictions on strategic investment by foreign investors in listed companies will be relaxed, expanding channels for foreign investment and guiding more high-quality foreign investment to enter the capital market for long-term investment.
In addition, the Ministry of Commerce is revising the Catalogue of Industries Promoted for Foreign Investment to further expand the items of support.
At a press conference, the official announced that the fifth summit of multinational corporation leaders will be held in the Chinese city of Qingdao from August 27 to 29.
