Nationwide Negative List The Nationwide Negative List sets out the "restricted" and "prohibited" sectors in which foreign investment is either prohibited or restricted (thereby requiring pre-approval by MOC authorities). If a sector is not included in the list, it is classified as a sector in which foreign investment is "permitted". "Encouraged" sectors are listed in the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries which was last issued in The new Nationwide Negative List opens up 22 areas to foreign investment, predominantly in the services and manufacturing industries, and sets out a timetable for openingup the automobile and finance sectors. Comparison with the 2017 Negative List Compared to the current nationwide negative list, the new version reduces the sectors in which foreign investment is restricted from 63 to 48, and includes openings in finance, infrastructure, transportation, commercial logistics, professional services, agriculture, coal and non-metal mining, and the manufacturing of autos, ships, and aircraft. In many of the newly liberalized sectors, limits on the proportion of equity that foreign investors may hold have also been lifted. With respect to the finance sector, under the new Nationwide Negative List, the maximum ratio of foreign-held equity in futures, life insurance, securities and fund management companies is increased to 51%. We have summarized the major changes in the chart below: From Prohibited to From Restricted to Manufacture of weapons and ammunition Business premises for Internet access services Selection and cultivation of new varieties of crops, and production of seeds, aside from wheat and corn Exploration and exploitation of special and rare kinds of coal
2 Exploration and exploitation of graphite Smelting and separation of rare earth and smelting of tungsten Manufacture of special use vehicles and new energy vehicles Design, manufacture and repair of ships (including sections) aircraft for trunk and tributary lines, design and manufacture of helicopters at the level of 3 tons or more, manufacture of ground-effect and water-effect aircraft, and design and manufacture of UAV and aerostats general aircraft Construction and operation of power grids Construction and operation of network of trunk railway lines Railway passenger transport companies International marine transportation companies International shipping agencies Purchase and wholesale of rice, wheat and corn Construction and operation of gas stations Banks (previous restrictions on the proportion of foreign equity no longer apply) Futures companies (foreign equity restriction Securities companies (foreign equity restriction Fund management companies (foreign equity restriction Insurance companies (foreign equity restriction Surveying and mapping companies Furthermore, the new Nationwide Negative List sets out a schedule for removing all foreign equity restrictions in the automobile and finance sectors. In the automobile sector, restrictions on the proportion of foreign equity in commercial vehicle manufacturing will be removed by In addition, restrictions on the proportion of shares in passenger vehicle manufacturing and limits on the number of joint ventures that foreign companies can establish will be removed by In the finance sectors, the restrictions on the proportion of foreign equity in securities companies, futures companies and life insurance companies will be removed by Baker McKenzie FenXun (FTZ) Joint Operation Office July 2018
3 2. FTZs Negative List Under the new FTZs Negative List, restrictions on foreign investment in several more sectors are loosened. Similar to the new Nationwide Negative List, the new FTZs Negative List also offers a clear timeline for the openingup of the automobile and finance sectors to foreign investment. The list applies to all of the free trade zones in China. Comparison with the 2017 FTZs Negative List (i.e., Current Version) Compared with the current version, the new FTZs Negative List cuts restrictions on foreign investment from 95 sectors to 45 and eases restrictions in the culture, petroleum and natural gas, agriculture, mining and finance sectors. We have summarized the major changes in the chart below: From Prohibited to From Restricted to Smelting and processing of radioactive minerals Ivory carvings and tiger bone processing Production, import and export of tobacco leaves, cigarettes, re-dried tobacco leaves and other tobacco products Operation of air traffic control systems Internet map compilation and publishing Becoming a member of a securities exchange or a member of a futures exchange Collection or purchasing of wildlife and microbe under national key protection Exploration and exploitation of graphite Smelting of tungsten Manufacture, operation, import and export of nuclear fuels, nuclear materials, uranium products and related nuclear technologies Solid radioactive waste treatment Central reserve grains (oil) Selection and cultivation of new varieties of crops, and production of seeds, aside from wheat and corn for which the restriction on foreign equity is increased from 49% to 66% Collection of genetic resources of crops Fishing business besides fishing in the seas and inland waters under China's jurisdiction Exploration, exploitation and development in the exclusive economic zones, continental shelves and other waters under China's jurisdiction 3 Baker McKenzie FenXun (FTZ) Joint Operation Office July 2018

5 Performance brokerage institutions Telecommunications (current Shanghai FTZ policy expanded to all FTZs) Newly Prohibited Fishing in the seas and inland waters under China's jurisdiction China's newly issued Negative Lists demonstrate that China is taking concrete and significant steps to open up previously restricted sectors to foreign investment at a faster rate than has been seen in previous years. The new Negative Lists should present many opportunities for existing and prospective foreign investors active in the liberalized sectors Baker McKenzie FenXun (FTZ) Joint Operation Office Unit 1601, Jin Mao Tower 88 Century Avenue, Pudong Shanghai , PRC Tel: Fax: Baker & McKenzie FenXun (FTZ) Joint Operation Office All rights reserved.
