8. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Zhong Shan, Commerce Minister of China (partially overlaid with shot 9, ending with shots 10-11):
"In 2019, we have three priorities in ensuring stable foreign investment. The first is to open more areas, continue to shorten the negative list, ease restrictions on market access and allow wholly foreign ownership in more areas. The second is to work harder to attract foreign investments, implement the State Council's 23 measures on utilizing foreign capital, and materialize major projects. The third is to build new highlands for opening up, support the expansion of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, and explore the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port."

China will open further to attract more foreign investment in 2019, according to the Chinese commerce minister on Friday.
Amid declining global flows of foreign direct investment (FDI), China in 2018 saw a stable influx of foreign capital.
Last year, China put 135 billion U.S. dollars of foreign capital into actual use, an increase of 3 percent compared with 2017.
Commerce Minister Zhong Shan said in an exclusive interview with China Central Television that in 2019, the country plans to take more measures to attract more foreign companies to invest.

Zhong also noted that China will improve its domestic investment environment, enact a new law on foreign investment, and improve the complaint handling mechanism at both central and local levels.
The aim, he said, is to make China a friendly and profitable destination for foreign investors.
