Abstract:The promulgation of the Foreign Investment Law (FIL) is a milestone in the development of the legal framework concerning foreign investment in China, which can be regarded as a revolution of existing laws and regulations such as the “Three Foreign Invested Enterprise Laws”. Not only the new regulating object and clause structure are reflected in the FIL, but a number of new rules in investment access, investment promotion, investment protection, investment administration and other related fields are provided in the FIL as well. Meanwhile, the rules in the FIL (as a domestic law) are consistent with those in the China’s Bilateral Investment Treaties of new generation and “Investment” Chapters of Free Trade Agreements recently concluded by China (as international agreements) to a large degree. However, the coordination of the above two kinds of rules shall be further enhanced. In the aspects regulated by both two kinds of rules above, the concrete provisions in such rules should be stipulated in the same or similar way if possible. In the aspects mainly regulated by only the domestic law or international agreements, the concrete provisions should avoid being stipulated in a contradictory way. If so, a more stable and predictable legal environment will be provided for those foreign investors who will come to make investment in China.
