The Foreign Investment Law ("FDI law") has been effective since 2020 which has replaced the previous 3 foreign investment related laws and become the new milestone for foreign investment management trends in China. Foreign-invested companies in China have been experiencing a transitional period and may have adopted certain changes to follow the new rules. The Chinese government has also delivered its concerns to foreign investors and issues various policies accordingly.

This episode aims to brief the significant impacts, from both legal and financial perspectives, on foreign-invested companies resulting from the FDI law as well as the investment circumstances.

It should come as no surprise for international businesses that receiving payments from their Chinese counterparties can be a long and cumbersome process. This is especially relevant for overseas companies that do not have a permanent establishment in China in the form of a foreign direct investment, such as a limited liability company or a joint venture. Therefore, for the convenience of both Chinese consumers and overseas sellers, certain banks in China offer a special type of bank account which is available to be opened exclusively by non-resident legal entities. This type of bank account is known as a non-resident bank account or NRA, and it can be opened in one of the People's Republic of China's (PRC) banks. Lets discuss it more in depth today!

On 24th June 2022, China's amended Anti-monopoly Law (AML) was adopted (after more than two years in the making), and took effect on 1st August 2022. This is a notable landmark for the legal sector, as it is the first amendment to the AML since the original law was introduced 14 years ago as China's first comprehensive competition law. Let's examine today how the amended law expands the legal framework for authorities to pursue anti-competitive behaviour by companies and administrative agencies, while also internationalising and modernising the approach to anti-trust law in China.
