The Several Measures of Xiamen City to Further Optimize the Foreign Investment Environment and Enhance Efforts to Attract and Utilize Foreign Capital were recently released, proposing 13 pragmatic measures across three areas to signal stronger commitments to openness and foreign capital attraction. The measures mandate full implementation of the pre-establishment national treatment plus negative list management system for foreign investment. Key provisions address foreign investors' priorities by strengthening guarantees in labor, project construction, financing, cross-border data flows, and facilitating foreign capital and personnel mobility. The document also emphasizes ensuring national treatment for foreign-invested enterprises, improving rights protection mechanisms, and refining service frameworks. These measures will remain effective until December 31, 2027, with reward policies continuing until fulfillment post-expiry.
