This infographic shows China's investment landscape at a glance, including GDP growth in China, China's FDI flows (US$ 5 million), FDI restrictiveness compared, and liberalized industries under China's draft catalogue for the guidance of foreign investment industries.
In this edition of China Briefing, we guide readers through a range of topics, from the reasons behind foreign investors’ preference for the WFOE as an investment model, to managing China’s new regulations. We discuss how economic transformations have favored the WFOE, as well as the investment model’s utility, and detail key requirements that businesspeople need to examine before initiating the WFOE setup process. We then walk investors through the WFOE establishment process, and, finally, explain the new and idiosyncratic “Actual Controlling Person” regulation.
