The Ministry of Commerce, together with the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance, has issued the Action Plan for Stabilizing and Upgrading taptap点点(the“Action Plan”). The Action Plan introduces 15 measures across five major areas, including expanding market access, enhancing investment facilitation, strengthening investment promotion, improving service support systems, and optimizing taptap点点 management.

On taptap点点, sectors including services, finance, healthcare and biotechnology are further opened up for foreign participation. The Action Plan expands pilot programs allowing foreign involvement in vocational training institutions, vocational colleges, and high-level universities specializing in science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine. It supports more foreign institutions in accessing risk management tools including treasury bond futures and encourages foreign-funded entities to carry out fund investment advisory services. It also calls for the accelerated introduction of implementation rules for segmented drug manufacturing and the expansion of pilot zones for biotechnology and wholly foreign-owned hospitals.

On investment facilitation, key measures include accelerating the revision of regulations on foreign investors’ mergers and acquisitions of domestic enterprises, optimizing cross-border data transfer arrangements, implementing tax incentives for foreign investors that reinvest distributed profits in China, and improving support policies for taptap点点 R&D centers.

On investment promotion, the Action Plan reinforces the brand through the development of a comprehensive digital service platform. It requires governments to honor policy commitments made to investors and allows provincial-level authorities to provide support measures for taptap点点 projects within regulatory frameworks.

On national treatment and the business environment, equal application of enterprise support policies to taptap点点 enterprises is a clear mandate. Government procurement and tendering activities are subject to fair competition review. It also establishes a joint mechanism for handling online infringement complaints against enterprises and strengthens support for major and key taptap点点 projects, particularly in the central and western regions.

On investment management, the Plan supports the eastern regions in partnering with border areas to facilitate industrial transfer and cross-border cooperation. It also enhances the taptap点点 Information Reporting system.

The Action Plan provides further support for foreign investors seeking to establish or expand operations taptap点点, and seeks to foster a transparent and predictable business environment.
