China has eased foreign investment restrictions by cutting the number of prohibited or limited sectors in its updated 2025 "negative list," as Beijing seeks to boost investor confidence amid growing economic pressures and escalating U.S. tariffs.
China has unveiled an updated version of its "negative list," easing restrictions for foreign investors by cutting the number of restricted industries from 117 to 106, according to a statement released Thursday by the country's top economic planner.
The list, which outlines sectors where foreign investment is limited or banned, was first introduced in 2018. The latest revision, set for 2025, aims to lower market entry barriers and boost investor confidence at a time when China’s economy is under pressure from weakening domestic demand and escalating U.S. tariffs.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said the changes are intended to "stimulate market vitality" by partially opening up sectors such as television production, telecommunications, online pharmaceutical information services, medical radioactive drug use, and forest seed imports.
Additionally, local governments have been encouraged to expand foreign access in transportation, logistics, freight forwarding, and car rental services.
