Since the end of the 1970s, China has followed a piecemeal approach to regulating foreign investment. The most recent law in this regard is the Foreign Investment Law (FIL), which came into force on January 1, 2020. The groundbreaking new FIL is widely recognized for its promises and assurances made to investors, indicating China's eagerness to enhance its investment environment and regain momentum for investment growth.

This comprehensive book offers an up-to-date and comprehensive understanding of the key aspects of the regulatory regime on foreign investment in China, with a critical analysis of laws and their implementation. It also delves into sensitive and complex legal issues relevant to foreign investment beyond the 2020 FIL and recent developments in foreign-related dispute settlement.

The book employs cases of success and failure to illustrate the nuances and differences between law and practice regarding foreign investment. Given China's significant role in the global economy and the critical importance of the regulatory system on foreign investment in China, this book holds great interest for a wide range of audiences, including academics specializing in investment law, legal practitioners, policymakers, and master's students in law and management.
