중국의 외자 진입 네거티브 리스트 제도에 관한 소고

Abstract

In June 2013, China agreed to make the introduction of the “National Treatment before Entry + Negative List” system a precondition for negotiation for the first time in the BIT negotiation process with the United States. Thereafter, the Negative List system has undergone the process of spreading to the whole country through pilot operation in the Free Trade Demonstration Zone in China. Currently, there are three types of negative lists in China: the free trade demonstration version negative list, the national version negative list, and the FTA version negative list. The introduction of the negative list system means a revolution in China's foreign investment management system. With the introduction of the registration system along with the negative list system, the investment environment in China has been greatly improved. At the same time, the center of Chinese government's supervision and management of foreign investments is rapidly shifting from pre-management to post-management. Since the negative listing system will be fully implemented for domestic companies too from 2018, competition in the Chinese market is expected to become more intense.
