"In 2019, we will persist in the concept of open development and the fundamental policy of opening-up and bring the open economy to a higher level. While fully implementing the model of pre-establishment national treatment and negative list management, we will implement positive encouragement plus the national treatment for foreign-funded enterprises after the establishment, so as to create an even better business environment for foreign investors in China."
5. News briefing in progress
6. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Ning Jizhe, deputy head, NDRC:
"The on-going second session of the 13th National People's Congress will deliberate a draft foreign investment law. The draft has established the system of promoting and protecting foreign investment, clearly stipulating that China protects foreign investors and the intellectual property rights of foreign-funded enterprises according to law and banning the usage of administrative means for forced technology transfer. This is sure to provide a more comprehensive and stronger legal protection to the rights and interests of foreign investors."
