Introduction
In this publication, we explore the key questions being asked by clients looking to unlock investment opportunities in the
People’s Republic of China (China):
Where are the best opportunities for investing in China
How are other investors dealing with the key issues
How do I deal with regulatory change and ultimately repatriate my funds
Against a backdrop of regulatory reform, economic transition and heightened regulatory enforcement, we explore and
position the investment trends in China, consider the relevance of the new Free Trade Zones, discuss the role Hong Kong
might play in China’s future plans, and assess the relevant opportunities that these two destinations represent.
Vast opportunities remain for investors, despite China’s recent credit downgrade by Moody’s. As China is entering a period
of more managed growth, investors need to take more time to target their plans towards sectors of the economy that are
growing the strongest, and where foreign investors have the most value to add. On the next page, we have summarised
the key questions investors and directors of companies in China should ask.
Building on our unrivalled depth of capability and on-the-ground experience, in this publication we analyse the key
opportunities, concerns and issues facing foreign companies investing, operating and sourcing in and from China, and how
this is changing over time.
We hope that we can add value to your business in China and would be delighted to discuss opportunities with you further.

“We will accelerate the development of a new open
economic system in keeping with the economic
globalisation and new industrial revolution. We
will further ease market access in the service and
manufacturing sectors; relax foreign equity caps in
some areas of great interest; advance and improve
the negative-list regulation model; and treat domestic
companies and foreign companies equally on the
supportive policies.”
