Incredible trip
The Study Trip to China was one of the best experiences of my life. I have never stayed in a country and with a culture so different.
I had a different vision about the Chinese people and especially about their foreign investment policies. My idea about this has changed for different reasons (with 2015 data):
- Foreign investment of 102.665.000.000€.
- 14.7% more than the previous year.
- The previous year was the country with the highest foreign direct investment.
In fact, foreign investment is one of the keys to economic growth in the country for the last 30 years. This proves that china´s economy is continuously growing.
This is even more important when the amount of foreign direct investment in the world decreases.
The restrictions that may appear to foreign investment can be really different and can appear at different times:
- Pre-establishment restraints that impede market access for foreign investment.
- Post-establishment restraints that treat foreign-invested entities less favourable.
- Broad policy statements that potentially result in less favourable treatment for foreign investors and investments during both the pre-establishment and post-establishing stages.
In addition, there are sectors that are very regulated by the government and where it is not possible to accede like:
- Energy.
- Environment.
- Telecommunications.
