The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) released two revised negative lists for foreign investment market access. The two lists, one for the piloted free trade zones (FTZ) and one for the rest of the country, contain fewer access-limiting measures. Pilot FTZs now have 37 listed items for foreign investors, down from 45, while non-FTZ areas are required to implement 40 items instead of 48.

We will lift all foreign investment restrictions beyond the negative list, and provide equal treatment to all types of businesses registered in China in the post-establishment phase. A complaint mechanism will be set up for foreign companies to air their grievances.---On Global Economy and Trade at the G20 Summit, Remarks by H.E. Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China.
