Core Document: Guide on China's Foreign Investment (2025 Edition) (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean)

China Entry Hub Insight:
This Guide, officially compiled by the Ministry of Commerce, is a valuable one-stop introductory encyclopedia to the investment environment. The availability of multilingual versions (English, Japanese, Korean) itself reflects China's open attitude towards welcoming foreign investment. The document systematically outlines the entire framework for foreign investment, covering broad topics such as forms of establishment, the legal and regulatory system, intellectual property protection, foreign exchange management, and corporate social responsibility. It is particularly suitable for the management of multinational corporations and overseas headquarters to quickly build an overall understanding of China's investment environment.
It is important to note that, as a "guide," its content focuses more on macro-level processes and general principles. For specific industry access (such as specially regulated industries like food and healthcare), local implementation rules, and compliance practices in daily operations, enterprises still need to conduct in-depth research combined with the latest specialized regulations and localized experience. It is an excellent "map," but navigating still requires a pilot familiar with the local waters.

Regarding Document Language Versions and Our Services
We present this document in its original Chinese version, as this reflects a common and critical challenge when entering the Chinese market: the information barrier. Although the Chinese government continues to increase efforts in releasing English information, a vast number of legally binding regulations, standards, notices, and real-time updates are still primarily published through Chinese official channels. This barrier of language and access often prevents overseas enterprises from obtaining crucial information or leads them to rely on outdated or inaccurate translations.
This is one of the core values of China Entry Hub's "on-the-ground" team. As local experts deeply embedded in the Chinese market, we can:

Monitor in real-time the official websites of various central and local government departments.
Accurately interpret and extract the core requirements, deadlines, and changes from Chinese policy documents relevant to your specific business.
Provide precise business impact analysis, going beyond mere translation, to help you make informed decisions.
If you need to inquire whether a specific product is subject to special regulations, the specific application conditions for a certain qualification, or any policy details only published on Chinese platforms, we are ready to provide you with professional information retrieval and insightful analysis services.
