01-09-17 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
AustCham Beijing would like to thank the speakers, Mr. Roy Zou, Sherry Gong and Ms. Lu Zhou from Hogan Lovells. All three speakers gave detailed insights into the new NPC Decision and Record Filing updates and highlighted the importance of the new negative list administration model, which only requires FIE’s in the most sensitive sectors to receive approval for FDI. They elaborated on the updated record filing procedures, which can now be done online to streamline the process. The panel also mentioned that there is a need for a single nationwide Negative List to improve the efficiency and identify what projects fall into Restricted and Prohibited sectors. The panel concluded highlighting that the NPC Decision and Interim Measures will have an overall positive impact on FDI regulation.
