Overview

China is engaged in a major evolutionary economic change. Foreign direct investment (FDI) participation has been and will continue to be the driving force behind this change well into the next century. This book presents to Western business and legal communities a comprehensive picture of the prevailing Chinese foreign investment climate. More important, it provides keen insight into the ways China must move to improve its laws and policies.
