This book analyses China's foreign investment law which came into force in January 2020. The new law implemented sweeping changes and overhauled China's foreign investment law regime of the last four decades. The foreign investment law aims to make the business environment more investor-friendly and address some of the contentious issues between US and China in the ongoing trade war.

The book explains how the law enhances regulatory transparency. It also outlines the new approval process i.e. the pre-establishment negative list system which has replaced the former approval system for foreign investment projects.

This book will help give readers a better understanding of major changes and benefits under the new law and will be the first of its kind looking at the implications of this law.
