Premier Li Keqiang and the State Council have spelled out the new rules
China’s State Council, the equivalent of the country’s cabinet, issued new rules on overseas investment on Friday, August 18th, which restrict investment in real estate, hotels and other sectors.
In the document, the top level central government body divides potential investment sectors and locations into “encouraged,” “limited” and “prohibited” categories, and directs ministries and local governments to scrutinise and control all outbound investments in accordance with the guidelines.
The original document, in Chinese, is available here.
