China to minimize coronavirus impact on foreign investment – Financial Post

BEIJING — China’s commerce ministry said on Friday that it will minimize the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on foreign investment into the country and encourage further investment of foreign capital into various industries including technology.

The ministry said in a statement that it will further ease restrictions against foreign investment into China by revising the so-called negative list and will closely monitor the progress of key foreign investment projects in the country.
