China’s 2026 Batch of Major Foreign Investment Projects: 13 Flagship Projects Worth USD 13.4 Billion | 2026 年新一批标志性重大外资项目：13 个项目计划投资 134 亿美元

Overview

In October 2026 two strands of official information on foreign investment appeared close together. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) released a new batch of 13 flagship major foreign investment projects with a planned investment value of USD 13.4 billion. Separately, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) reported that 84 key foreign investment projects had been added nationwide since the start of the year, with a total planned investment of USD 19.46 billion.

The two figures are often read together, and it is worth being precise about what they are. Both are planned investment amounts. They are not capital already paid in, and they are not a measure of realised inflows. The lists from which they come are compiled through a selection process run by central and local authorities; a company does not enter a list merely by filing an application of its own accord.

This article sets out what was announced, how the underlying mechanism works, and what the two main channels mean in practice for a foreign investor deciding where to place a project.

Key developments in 2026

The new flagship project batch. The NDRC released a new batch of 13 flagship major foreign investment projects with planned investment of USD 13.4 billion. The newly selected projects are mainly in manufacturing, including electronics manufacturing, chemicals, automobiles and electrical machinery. “Mainly in manufacturing” is the official description of how the batch is composed.

The key project statistics. MOFCOM reported that 84 key foreign investment projects were added nationwide this year, with total investment of USD 19.46 billion, spanning machinery and equipment, chemicals and energy, automobiles and healthcare. MOFCOM said it would continue to track the implementation progress of projects, foster a better business environment and further consolidate the base for attracting foreign investment.

The mechanism behind the lists. Two elements sit behind these numbers. The first is the working group for major foreign investment projects, together with rolling updates to the lists of major and key foreign investment projects. The second is the Action Plan for Stabilising, Consolidating and Improving the Use of Foreign Investment (Shang Zi Fa [2026] No. 97), dated 16 June 2026 and approved by the State Council. That document provides that reinvestment projects in China by qualifying foreign-invested enterprises may be included in the lists of major and key foreign investment projects and enjoy the corresponding support policies. It also points to the new edition of the Catalogue of Industries for Encouraging Foreign Investment as a guide for where investment should go.

The four benefits under the encouraged catalogue. Investing in an industry listed in the 2025 edition of the Catalogue of Industries for Encouraging Foreign Investment can bring four main benefits, as summarised on an official question-and-answer page. First, self-use equipment imported within the total investment amount is exempt from customs duty, except for products that the state has designated as not exempt. Second, land-intensive encouraged industrial projects receive priority in land supply, and the transfer floor price may be set at no less than 70% of the national minimum transfer price standard for industrial land at the corresponding grade; long-term leasing, leasing before transfer and flexible-term transfer are also supported in order to lower initial land costs. Third, investment in the western regions and Hainan province may pay corporate income tax at a reduced rate of 15%. Fourth, where an overseas investor reinvests profits distributed by a domestic enterprise directly, and the investee engages in an industry in the national catalogue of the 2025 edition and meets the relevant conditions, a tax credit is available.

Supporting data. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange’s Balance of Payments Report for the first half of 2026 showed equity foreign direct investment of USD 63.8 billion in the first half, up 55% year on year. Within that total, the net increase in capital funds — which reflects longer-term investment intent — was USD 43.1 billion, and reinvestment of earnings by foreign-invested enterprises in China rose 31% year on year.

Practical implications for foreign businesses

The practical question for a foreign investor is how a project reaches the point where it attracts the working group’s attention and the benefits described above. In substance there are two routes, and they are complementary rather than alternative.

The first is inclusion in the major or key foreign investment project list. This is a selection process. Projects are identified and compiled by central and local authorities according to procedure; it is not a self-declaration scheme in which a company files and automatically qualifies. Inclusion brings working-group tracking and service, and access to the green channels that accompany it. The June 2026 Action Plan adds a specific pathway for expansion: where a qualifying foreign-invested enterprise reinvests in China, that reinvestment project can itself be brought into the lists.

The second route is investment direction. Where a project falls within the 2025 edition of the Catalogue of Industries for Encouraging Foreign Investment, the four benefits described above become relevant — duty-free import of self-use equipment within the total investment, priority land supply with a floor-price mechanism, the 15% rate in the western regions and Hainan, and the tax credit for qualifying profit reinvestment. Which of these applies depends on the facts of the project and on the conditions attached to each benefit.

Two cautions belong with the numbers. First, the USD 13.4 billion and USD 19.46 billion are planned investment amounts; they should not be read as capital already deployed. Second, the figures describe projects that have passed a selection process, not the general level of foreign investment, and they are best read alongside the balance-of-payments data rather than as a substitute for it.

For a company weighing a China project, the practical sequence is therefore to check whether the intended activity falls within the encouraged catalogue, to assess whether the project’s scale and profile make it a candidate for list inclusion through the competent authorities, and to build the timing of any reinvestment decision around the availability of the tax credit. None of these steps is automatic, and each depends on the applicable rules and on the assessment of the authorities concerned.

Each of these areas is governed by its own rules and should be checked against the operative texts.

2026 年新一批标志性重大外资项目：13 个项目计划投资 134 亿美元

概述

2026 年 10 月，关于外商投资的两组官方信息几乎同时出现。国家发展改革委推出新一批 13 个标志性重大外资项目，计划投资额 134 亿美元。商务部另公布数据：今年以来全国新增 84 个重点外资项目，计划投资总额 194.6 亿美元。

这两组数字常被放在一起解读，因此有必要先说清它们是什么。二者均为计划投资额，不是已到位资金，也不是已实现流入规模的度量。它们所依据的清单，由国家和地方按程序遴选产生；企业并非自行申报即可进入清单。

本文说明已公布的内容、其背后的机制，以及两条主要通道对外资投资者为项目选址时的实际含义。

2026 年主要进展

新一批标志性项目。 国家发展改革委推出新一批 13 个标志性重大外资项目，计划投资额 134 亿美元。新入选项目主要集中在制造业，包括电子制造、化工、汽车、电气机械等。”主要集中在制造业”是官方对本批项目构成的表述。

重点项目统计。 商务部公布，今年以来全国新增 84 个重点外资项目，总投资额 194.6 亿美元，涉及机电装备、化工能源、汽车、医疗健康等领域。商务部表示，下一步将持续跟踪项目实施进度，营造更优的营商环境，进一步巩固吸引外资基本盘。

清单背后的机制。 这些数字背后有两个要素。其一是重大外资项目工作专班，以及重大和重点外资项目清单的滚动更新。其二是《利用外资固稳促优行动方案》（商资发〔2026〕97 号），该文件落款 2026 年 6 月 16 日，经国务院同意。文件明确，符合条件的外商投资企业境内再投资项目可纳入重大和重点外资项目清单并享受相应支持政策，并提到以新版《鼓励外商投资产业目录》引导投向。

鼓励类目录的四项优惠。 外商投资《鼓励外商投资产业目录（2025 年版）》内的行业领域，主要可享受四项优惠政策。其一，在投资总额内进口自用设备，除国家规定不予免税的产品外，免征关税。其二，对集约用地的鼓励类工业项目优先供应土地，并可按不低于所在地等别相对应全国工业用地出让最低价标准的 70% 确定出让底价；支持灵活采用工业用地长期租赁、先租后让、弹性年期出让等方式，降低初期用地成本。其三，在西部地区和海南省投资，可减按 15% 税率缴纳企业所得税。其四，境外投资者以境内企业分配的利润直接投资，被投资企业从事产业属《鼓励外商投资产业目录（2025 年版）》全国目录且符合相关条件的，可享受税收抵免优惠。

背景数据。 国家外汇管理局《2026 年上半年中国国际收支报告》显示，2026 年上半年外商股权性质直接投资 638 亿美元，同比增长 55%。其中反映长期投资意愿的资本金净增加 431 亿美元，外资企业在境内的收益再投资同比增长 31%。

对外资企业的实务意义

对外资投资者而言，实务问题是一个项目如何走到获得专班关注和上述优惠的那一步。实质上有两条通道，二者互补而非互斥。

第一条是纳入重大或重点外资项目清单。这是一项遴选程序，项目由国家和地方按程序识别、编制；它不是企业自行申报即可自动获得资格的制度。纳入后，项目可获得专班跟踪服务，以及随之而来的绿色通道。2026 年 6 月的行动方案还增加了一条具体路径：符合条件的外商投资企业在中国境内再投资，该再投资项目本身也可被纳入清单。

第二条是投向。项目若落在《鼓励外商投资产业目录（2025 年版）》范围内，上述四项优惠即与之相关——投资总额内进口自用设备免税、优先供地及底价机制、西部地区和海南省 15% 税率，以及符合条件的利润再投资税收抵免。其中哪一项适用，取决于项目的具体情况与各项优惠所附的条件。

围绕这些数字，有两点需要注意。第一，134 亿美元与 194.6 亿美元均为计划投资额，不应理解为已经投入的资本。第二，这些数字描述的是已经过遴选程序的项目，而非外商投资的总体水平；它们宜与国际收支数据结合阅读，而不是替代后者。

对正在权衡中国项目的企业而言，实务上的次序因此是：先看拟从事的活动是否落在鼓励类目录范围内；再评估项目的规模与形态是否具备通过主管部门纳入清单的条件；并把再投资决策的时间安排与税收抵免的适用条件衔接起来。上述各步都不是自动发生的，每一项都以适用的规则和主管部门的评估为准。

延伸阅读

跟踪上述议题的读者，也可一并参考关于《鼓励外商投资产业目录》及其优惠、外商投资企业可用的”一站式”服务安排，以及重大贸易活动适用的通关便利措施等文章。上述各领域均由其各自的规则约束，应以现行有效文本为准。

The 140th Canton Fair: Guangzhou Customs’ 12 Facilitation Measures and the Clearance Guide | 第 140 届广交会：广州海关 12 项便利措施与通关须知

Overview

On 9 October 2026, Guangzhou Customs held a press conference at which it released the Measures of Guangzhou Customs in Support of the 140th China Import and Export Fair of 2026 — 12 measures in total — and the Customs Clearance Guide for the 140th Canton Fair of 2026. The two documents set out how customs will handle exhibits, personnel and goods connected with the session.

This article focuses on the customs dimension of the fair. It does not restate the fair’s overall scale or its three-phase arrangement, which are covered separately. The material below reproduces the measures and the clearance guide as described by Guangzhou Customs, and separates the official description from practical observation.

The 140th Canton Fair is held in the year that marks the 70th anniversary of the fair’s founding. Guangzhou Customs notes that it has set up expedited channels for inbound exhibits at key ports at each session since the 133rd Canton Fair.

The 12 facilitation measures

The 12 measures cover a range of customs functions connected with the fair. The areas they address include:

  • Efficient clearance for exhibits and personnel — supporting the smooth entry and exit of exhibition goods and the people attending the fair.
  • On-site staffing — Guangzhou Customs dispatches officers to serve at the venue during the fair.
  • In-hall inspection of imported exhibits — a measure new to this session, described in more detail below.
  • Food and cosmetics imported for exhibition — supporting the entry of food and cosmetics to be displayed at the fair.
  • Tax treatment of exhibits purchased after the fair — supporting exhibits that are purchased after the fair in enjoying tax preferences.
  • Streamlined departure tax-refund verification — optimising the model for verifying departure tax refunds.
  • A pilot reform of “batch inspection (quarantine)” for exports — implementing the pilot for export goods.
  • Support for agricultural and food exports — a measure new to this session, described below.

The measures are published as a single document of 12 items. The list above groups them by the function they serve; it does not assign the items to numbered positions.

In-hall inspection of imported exhibits

The measure new to this session is the support for in-hall inspection of imported exhibits. Zeng Qi, deputy director of the Port Supervision Division of Guangzhou Customs, explained the background.

Under the ordinary arrangement, exhibits that require inspection must complete inspection at the port before the enterprise can move them to the exhibition hall for set-up. Under in-hall inspection, the inspection can be carried out after the exhibits reach the hall. Guangzhou Customs describes the practical effect in two ways.

First, the port unpacking step is saved. This gains time for transport and set-up, and saves logistics and warehousing costs. Second, the exhibits are unpacked only once, avoiding a second round of unpacking and moving, which reduces the risk of damage. This is described as particularly helpful for the safe set-up of high-value, precision and fragile exhibits.

Support for agricultural and food exports

The other measure new to this session concerns exports of agricultural products and food. An exporting enterprise, or a farming and breeding base, may obtain a recommendation from the agriculture and rural affairs department in advance. With that recommendation, when the enterprise submits an application for overseas recommendation to customs, it is exempt from the on-site assessment that customs would otherwise carry out.

This is a procedural facilitation on the export side. It reduces one step in the process of obtaining an overseas recommendation, and it applies to the enterprises and bases that hold the prior recommendation from the agriculture department.

The clearance guide and the first inbound exhibits

The Customs Clearance Guide for the session sets out eight areas: Canton Fair filing; approval and admission of exhibits; declaration of inbound materials; inspection and release of exhibits; supervision during the fair; disposal of exhibits; supervision of personnel and personal effects; and equipment for press interviews. The guide is the reference document for participants handling the customs side of the fair.

The first batch of inbound exhibits cleared through Guangzhou Customs on 27 September 2026, entering China through the Nansha port in Guangzhou. The batch consisted of teapots, coffee machines, ceramic tableware and similar items made in Türkiye, totalling 84 items with a combined weight of about 12.3 tonnes. By 9 October, 10 batches of exhibits had entered through ports including Nansha port and Baiyun Airport.

On the tax side, the official description is that all exhibits temporarily imported during the fair may enjoy measures such as customs officers being stationed in the exhibition hall to supervise them, and exemption from submitting a tax guarantee to customs, which reduces the pressure on enterprises’ use of funds. Exhibits that are purchased after the fair enjoy tax preferences in accordance with the applicable rules. The official framing is not that all exhibits are duty-free; it is that temporarily imported exhibits are exempt from submitting a tax guarantee, and that exhibits purchased after the fair are treated under the relevant tax preferences.

Practical notes for exhibitors

  • Plan around the two new measures. In-hall inspection can shorten the path from port to hall for fragile or high-value exhibits, and the export facilitation removes an assessment step for enterprises that hold a prior agriculture-department recommendation.
  • Use the clearance guide as the checklist. The eight areas in the guide map to the tasks an exhibitor must complete, from filing and declaration to disposal of exhibits after the fair.
  • Distinguish the two tax treatments. Temporary import is linked to exemption from submitting a tax guarantee; purchase after the fair is linked to the applicable tax preferences. These are separate matters and should be handled separately.
  • Check timing early. The first batch cleared on 27 September and further batches followed through early October, so exhibit logistics run in the weeks before the fair opens.

第 140 届广交会：广州海关 12 项便利措施与通关须知

概述

2026 年 10 月 9 日，广州海关举行新闻发布会，发布《广州海关支持 2026 年第 140 届中国进出口商品交易会便利措施》，共 12 条，并发布《2026 年第 140 届广交会广州海关通关须知》。两份文件规定了海关对本届广交会相关的展览品、人员与物资的通关安排。

本文聚焦广交会的海关通关这一垂直维度，不重复展会的整体规模与三期安排，相关内容另有专文。下文照录广州海关介绍的措施与通关须知，并将官方表述与实务观察分开。

第 140 届广交会举办之年，适逢广交会创办 70 周年。广州海关介绍，自第 133 届广交会以来，该关每届均在主要口岸设置进境展品通关便捷通道。

12 项便利措施

12 条措施覆盖与广交会相关的多项海关职能。其涉及的方面包括：

  • 展览品和人员高效通关——支持展览品与参会人员的顺畅进出境。
  • 派员驻场服务——广交会期间，广州海关派员进驻场馆提供服务。
  • 支持进境展览品到馆查验——本届新增措施，下文详述。
  • 支持食品和化妆品进境参展——支持用于展示的食品和化妆品进境。
  • 支持留购展览品享受税收优惠——支持展后留购的展览品按规定享受税收优惠。
  • 优化离境退税便捷验核模式——优化离境退税的验核方式。
  • 实施出口”批次检验（检疫）”改革试点——对出口货物实施该项试点。
  • 支持农产品、食品出口——本届新增措施，下文详述。

上述措施以一份 12 条的文件发布。以上列表按其所服务的职能归类，并未把各条对应到具体序号。

进境展览品到馆查验

本届新增的措施是支持进境展览品到馆查验。广州海关口岸监管处副处长曾琦介绍了相关背景。

在一般情况下，需查验的展览品须在口岸完成查验后，企业才能将其运往展馆布展。实施”到馆查验”后，查验可在展览品运抵展馆后进行。广州海关从两个方面介绍了其实质效果。

其一，省去口岸拆装环节。这为运输和布展抢出了时间，也省下了物流仓储开支。其二，展览品只拆一次箱，避免了二次拆装搬移，从而降低损耗。广州海关表示，这对高值、精密、易损展品的安全布展尤为有利。

支持农产品、食品出口

本届另一项新增措施涉及农产品与食品出口。出口农产品企业或种养殖基地可提前向农业农村部门申请并获得推荐意见。凭该推荐意见，企业在向海关提交对外推荐申请时，免于海关现场考核。

这是出口环节的一项程序便利，减少了一道办理对外推荐的环节，适用于已取得农业农村部门事先推荐的出口农产品企业或种养殖基地。

通关须知与首批进境展品

本届通关须知列明八个方面：广交会备案、展览品审批和准入、进境物资申报、展览品查验与放行、展中监管、展览品处置、人员及个人物品监管，以及记者采访器材。该须知是参会方办理海关事务的参考文件。

首批进境展品于 2026 年 9 月 27 日经广州海关监管验放，在广州南沙口岸顺利通关入境。该批展品为土耳其生产的茶壶、咖啡机、陶瓷餐具等，共 84 件，总重约 12.3 吨。截至 10 月 9 日，已有 10 批次展品从南沙港、白云机场等口岸入境。

在税收方面，官方表述为：展期内暂时进境的所有展品，可享受海关派员进驻展馆监管、免于向海关提交税款担保等优惠措施，减轻企业资金占用压力。展后留购的展览品，则按规定享受税收优惠。官方口径并非”所有展品免税”，而是暂时进境展品免于提交税款担保，留购展品按规定适用相应的税收优惠。

参展方实务提示

  • 围绕两项新措施安排计划。 对易损或高值展品而言，到馆查验可缩短从口岸到展馆的路径；对已取得农业农村部门事先推荐的企业而言，出口便利减少了一道考核环节。
  • 把通关须知当作清单。 须知中的八个方面对应参展方需完成的事项，从备案、申报到展后展览品处置。
  • 区分两类税收安排。 暂时进境对应免于提交税款担保；展后留购对应按规定适用的税收优惠。二者是不同事项，应分别办理。
  • 尽早核对时间安排。 首批展品于 9 月 27 日通关，其后多批次在 10 月初陆续入境，展品物流在展会开幕前数周即已展开。

Domestic Foreign Exchange Loans Under Dedicated Account Management: The SAFE Notice Effective 1 October 2026 | 国内外汇贷款实行专用账户管理：2026年10月1日起施行的外汇局通知

Overview

The State Administration of Foreign Exchange Notice on Further Improving the Foreign Exchange Administration of Domestic Foreign Exchange Loans took effect on 1 October 2026. The Notice concerns domestic foreign exchange loans — that is, foreign exchange lending between a lender and a borrower within China — and it addresses how such loans are held in accounts and how their data is reported.

The Notice is short in its core content. It provides that domestic foreign exchange loans are subject to dedicated account management; it requires lenders to report the various data items of domestic foreign exchange loan business in a timely and accurate manner in accordance with the data collection standards for foreign exchange business of financial institutions; and it makes clear that the account management system is to be improved.

This article sets out the official content of the Notice, the policy background of the multi-year facilitation packages, the recent foreign exchange reserve data, and the points foreign-invested enterprises may wish to examine. It stays within the official record and does not invent article numbers, account names or penalty provisions that are not part of the verified content.

What the Notice provides

The first point is dedicated account management. Domestic foreign exchange loans are to be administered through a dedicated account, so that the loan has a defined operational locus rather than being handled through accounts used for other purposes.

The second point is data reporting. Lenders are required, in accordance with the data collection standards for foreign exchange business of financial institutions, to report the various data items of domestic foreign exchange loan business in a timely and accurate manner. This places the reporting obligation on the lender and ties it to an existing data collection standard.

The third point is that the account management system is to be improved. This is a directional statement: it indicates that the arrangements for how the accounts are structured and administered are to be refined further.

For a foreign-invested enterprise that borrows in foreign exchange within China, or for a financial institution that lends to one, the practical centre of gravity is the dedicated account and the reporting that flows from it. The Notice itself does not, in the verified content, set out detailed account names or penalty provisions, and this article does not supply them.

Policy background: the multi-year facilitation packages

The Notice sits within a longer sequence of measures on cross-border investment and financing. At a State Council Information Office press conference on 17 July 2026, Xiao Sheng, Director of the Capital Account Management Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, described that sequence.

According to that account, since 2023 the administration has rolled out “package” policies to facilitate cross-border investment and financing for three consecutive years, comprising nearly 20 measures. The measures described included facilitating the payment and use of funds by foreign-invested enterprises, supporting cross-border financing by science and innovation enterprises, reducing the negative list for the use of capital account income, and expanding the range of regions in which banks may handle foreign exchange registration. In terms of outcomes, some business processing times were shortened from three working days to same-day completion, and for some enterprises the number of documents required for review was halved.

Xiao Sheng also described a further package planned for 2026, in three categories. The first is to raise the level of facilitation for direct investment, including simplifying the procedures for settlement and payment under capital accounts. The second is to expand the high-level opening of cross-border financing, including expanding the range of entities to which cross-border financing facilitation policies apply, promoting the green foreign debt pilot nationwide, and optimising the macro-prudential management of cross-border financing. The third is to optimise the registration management of capital account business, including having some registration business handled directly by banks and increasing the types of capital account business that can be handled online.

It should be noted that these 2026 reform measures are to be released and implemented after the relevant working procedures are completed. As of the verification date, no formal document for the 2026 package had been issued, and it should not be treated as already in force. The Notice effective on 1 October 2026 is a separate, issued instrument.

Market context

Alongside the policy sequence, the administration publishes regular data on foreign exchange reserves. According to data released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on 7 October 2026, China’s foreign exchange reserves stood at USD 3,400.3 billion as of the end of September 2026, down USD 38.1 billion from the end of August, a decline of 1.11 percent.

This figure is background to the broader foreign exchange environment in which the account management rules operate. It is a data release rather than a statement about the Notice, and the two should be read separately.

Practical implications for foreign-invested enterprises

Financing arrangements. For a foreign-invested enterprise that borrows in foreign exchange within China, the dedicated account requirement bears on how the borrowing is set up and administered. Treasury and finance functions may wish to confirm that the account structure reflects the requirement.

Account operations. Because the loan is held through a dedicated account, the operational flow around drawdown, use and repayment runs through that account. Institutions that lend to foreign-invested enterprises should confirm that their own procedures align with the dedicated account arrangement.

Data reporting. The reporting obligation rests with the lender and is tied to the data collection standards for foreign exchange business of financial institutions. Lenders should confirm that the relevant data items are reported in a timely and accurate manner, and borrowers should be prepared to provide the information their lender needs.

Watching the pending package. The 2026 package described at the July press conference is not yet issued. Enterprises with cross-border financing plans may wish to follow official announcements, but should not treat the described measures as already effective.

Documentation. Because the Notice ties reporting to an existing data collection standard, keeping clean and current documentation of the borrowing and its use supports accurate reporting.

Related considerations

The Notice addresses domestic foreign exchange loans specifically. Other aspects of cross-border financing — such as the broader facilitation policies described at the July press conference, and the green foreign debt pilot and macro-prudential management mentioned in the planned package — are governed by their own instruments and timelines.

Foreign-invested enterprises may also consider how the Notice interacts with their wider financing structure, including the currency in which they borrow and the accounts they maintain. Because the verified content of the Notice is limited to dedicated account management, timely and accurate data reporting, and the improvement of the account management system, enterprises should look to the official text and to their banks for the detailed operational requirements.

国内外汇贷款实行专用账户管理：2026年10月1日起施行的外汇局通知

概述

国家外汇管理局《关于进一步完善国内外汇贷款外汇管理有关事项的通知》自2026年10月1日起施行。该通知针对国内外汇贷款，即贷款人与借款人在中国境内开展的外汇借贷，就此类贷款如何在账户中持有以及数据如何报送作出规定。

通知的核心内容不长。它规定国内外汇贷款实行专用账户管理；要求贷款人严格按照金融机构外汇业务数据采集规范要求，及时准确报送国内外汇贷款业务各项数据；并明确完善账户管理体系。

本文梳理该通知的官方内容、多年便利化一揽子政策的制度背景、近期外汇储备数据，以及外资企业可能关注的要点，并严格限于官方记录，不编造不属于已核验内容的条文编号、账户名称或罚则。

通知的规定内容

第一点是专用账户管理。国内外汇贷款应通过专用账户管理，使该笔贷款有确定的操作载体，而非经由用于其他目的的账户处理。

第二点是数据报送。贷款人须严格按照金融机构外汇业务数据采集规范要求，及时准确报送国内外汇贷款业务各项数据。这把报送义务落在贷款人身上，并与既有数据采集规范相衔接。

第三点是完善账户管理体系。这是一项方向性表述：它表明账户如何设置与管理的安排将进一步细化。

对在境内借入外汇的外资企业，或对向其放款的金融机构而言，实务重心在于专用账户以及由此产生的报送。通知的已核验内容本身并未列出详细的账户名称或罚则，本文亦不补充。

制度背景：多年便利化一揽子政策

该通知处于跨境投融资措施的更长序列之中。在2026年7月17日国务院新闻办公室发布会上，国家外汇管理局资本项目管理司司长肖胜介绍了这一序列。

据该介绍，2023年以来，外汇局连续3年推出”一揽子”跨境投融资便利化政策，先后出台近20项政策措施。所述措施包括便利外商投资企业资金支付使用、支持科创类企业跨境融资、缩减资本项目收入使用负面清单、扩大银行办理外汇登记的地区范围等。从效果看，有的业务办理时长从3个工作日缩短到当日办结，有的企业审核单证的材料数量减半。

肖胜还介绍了2026年拟再推出的一揽子政策，分为三类。第一类是提升直接投资便利化水平，包括简化资本项目结汇支付手续。第二类是扩大跨境融资高水平开放，包括拓展跨境融资便利化政策适用主体范围，全国推广绿色外债试点，优化跨境融资宏观审慎管理。第三类是优化资本项目业务登记管理，包括部分登记业务改由银行直接办理，增加资本项目”网上办”业务种类。

需要指出的是，这些2026年改革措施将在完成相关工作程序后按规定发布实施。截至核验日，2026年一揽子政策的正式文件尚未发布，不应视为已经生效。2026年10月1日起施行的通知，是一项已发布的单独文件。

市场背景

在政策序列之外，外汇局定期发布外汇储备数据。据国家外汇管理局2026年10月7日发布的数据，截至2026年9月末，我国外汇储备规模为34003亿美元，较8月末下降381亿美元，降幅为1.11%。

该数据是账户管理规则所处的外汇环境的背景。它是一项数据发布，而非关于该通知的表述，两者宜分开理解。

对外资企业的实务影响

融资安排。 对在境内借入外汇的外资企业而言，专用账户要求关系到借款如何设置与管理。资金管理与财务职能宜确认账户结构已体现该要求。

账户操作。 由于贷款通过专用账户持有，提款、使用与还款的操作流程都经由该账户。向外资企业放款的机构宜确认自身流程与专用账户安排相衔接。

数据报送。 报送义务由贷款人承担，并与金融机构外汇业务数据采集规范相衔接。贷款人宜确认相关数据项已及时准确报送，借款人则应准备好向贷款人提供所需信息。

关注待发布的一揽子政策。 7月发布会所述2026年一揽子政策尚未发布。有跨境融资计划的企业宜跟进官方公告，但不应把所述措施视为已经生效。

文件留存。 由于通知把报送与既有数据采集规范相衔接，保持借款及其用途文件的清晰与更新，有助于准确报送。

相关考虑

该通知专门针对国内外汇贷款。跨境融资的其他方面——例如7月发布会所述的更广泛便利化政策，以及拟议一揽子政策中提及的绿色外债试点与宏观审慎管理——由各自的文件与时间表规范。

外资企业还可考虑该通知与自身更广泛融资结构的关系，包括借款币种与所维护的账户。由于通知的已核验内容限于专用账户管理、及时准确报送数据以及完善账户管理体系，企业应查阅官方文本并向银行了解详细操作要求。

Green and Low-Carbon Provisions in the Opinion on Developing New Quality Productive Forces | 《关于发展新质生产力的意见》绿色低碳条款解读

Overview

The Opinion on Developing New Quality Productive Forces, issued in October 2026, sets out a framework for China’s economic development. This article looks only at one dimension of it: the green and low-carbon provisions, and what they mean in practice for foreign companies active in green industries. It does not cover the Opinion’s wider structure or its provisions on foreign venture capital and data flows, which are addressed separately.

The relevant text sits in the third part of the Opinion, “focusing on innovating the development model”. It is short but specific, and it is best read alongside the existing investment framework rather than in isolation.

What the green and low-carbon clauses say

The third part opens by setting a direction: “focusing on innovating the development model; build a green, low-carbon and circular economic system, improve the policy toolbox for green development, and actively advance the energy revolution.”

The energy paragraph then elaborates. Focused on the carbon-peaking and carbon-neutrality goals, the text calls for:

  • the orderly development of advanced nuclear fission energy;
  • building a power system with a high proportion of renewable energy;
  • improving policies for the consumption and regulation of new energy;
  • organising demonstration and roll-out of major application scenarios, and accelerating the greening of energy use across production and daily life;
  • advancing the revolution in energy consumption, supply, technology and systems, and strengthening international co-operation in all respects.

Two features stand out. First, the clause pairs generation-side language — renewable power and nuclear fission — with consumption-side language — new-energy consumption and regulation. Second, it closes with “all-round international co-operation”, which places the energy transition within a cross-border frame rather than a purely domestic one. That closing phrase is the main hook for foreign participation, and it is a statement of direction rather than a list of specific openings.

Sector boundaries: nuclear power and the negative list

The phrase “orderly development of advanced nuclear fission energy” should be read carefully. It appears in a paragraph about the energy mix, and it signals that advanced nuclear fission is part of the long-term energy picture. It does not, by itself, change the rules on who may invest in nuclear power.

Nuclear power remains a sector governed by the Catalogue of Industries for Foreign Investment and the Negative List for Foreign Investment Access. Foreign investment in nuclear power is restricted, and specific access is subject to the current negative list. A reader should therefore treat the energy paragraph as a technology-and-supply statement, not as a statement that nuclear operations are open to foreign investment. Where a project touches nuclear, the applicable rule is the negative list as it stands, not the energy clause.

The same discipline applies to the renewable-energy language. The Opinion states a direction — a power system with a high proportion of renewables, and improved consumption and regulation policies. It does not, in this text, set out capacity targets or consumption ratios. Investors should rely on the specific implementing documents that follow, not on inferred numbers.

The encouraged-investment catalogue as the practical frame

For a foreign company in green industries, the operative document is the Catalogue of Industries for Encouraging Foreign Investment. According to public reports, the 2025 edition contains 1,679 entries in total, a net increase of 205 over the 2022 edition, with 303 entries revised. Of these, the national catalogue has 619 entries (100 added, 131 revised) and the catalogue for central and western regions and other areas has 1,060 entries (105 added, 172 revised). The catalogue guides foreign investment towards advanced manufacturing, modern services and the central, western and north-eastern regions and Hainan. It takes effect on 1 February 2026, when the 2022 edition is repealed.

These figures are reported by the media and should be treated as publicly reported information rather than as text of the Opinion. Their significance for green industries is that encouraged-catalogue entries are the main mechanism through which green manufacturing, new-energy equipment and environmental services are signalled as welcome areas. A company should check whether its activity appears in the catalogue, and should read that against the sector restrictions in the negative list.

Practical implications for foreign green-industry investors

The following are practical observations, not official commitments:

  • Read the two lists together. The encouraged catalogue and the negative list work as a pair. An activity can be encouraged in general and still restricted in a specific sub-sector; the negative list governs the restriction.
  • Match the technology to the direction. The Opinion’s language points to renewable generation, new-energy consumption and regulation, and demonstration scenarios. A company whose technology fits one of these directions has a clearer policy reference point.
  • Treat nuclear separately. Given that nuclear power is governed by the negative list, a nuclear-related project should be assessed under that regime rather than under the energy paragraph.
  • Watch for implementing documents. The Opinion sets direction. Capacity targets, consumption rules and incentive details will come through separate implementing documents; those, not the Opinion alone, will carry the operational detail.
  • Use the regional dimension. The encouraged catalogue’s regional sections indicate that investment in the central, western and north-eastern regions and Hainan is a specific focus, which may be relevant to siting decisions.

Related considerations

The Opinion also frames the transition as one that runs across consumption, supply, technology and systems, and it links this to international co-operation. For a foreign investor, the practical consequence is that green-industry opportunities in China are defined by the interaction of a policy direction, the encouraged-investment catalogue and the sector restrictions in the negative list. None of these alone is decisive. The Opinion provides the direction; the lists provide the operational boundaries; and the implementing documents that follow will provide the specifics.

《关于发展新质生产力的意见》绿色低碳条款解读

概述

2026 年 10 月印发的《关于发展新质生产力的意见》，为中国的经济发展确立了框架。本文只聚焦其中一个维度：绿色低碳条款，以及它们对在华经营绿色产业的外资企业在实务上的含义。本文不涉及《意见》的整体结构，也不涉及其关于外资创业投资与数据流动的表述，这些内容另文处理。

相关条文位于《意见》第三方面”着力推进发展方式创新”。文字简短但指向明确，宜与现行投资制度框架对照阅读，而非孤立理解。

绿色低碳条款说了什么

第三方面开篇定下方向：”着力推进发展方式创新。构建绿色低碳循环发展经济体系，优化绿色发展政策工具箱，积极推进能源革命。”

能源段落随后展开。围绕碳达峰碳中和目标，文件提出：

  • 有序发展先进核裂变能；
  • 构建高比例可再生能源电力系统；
  • 完善新能源消纳和调控政策措施；
  • 组织重大应用场景示范和推广，加速全社会生产生活用能绿色化进程；
  • 推动能源消费、供给、技术、体制革命，全方位加强国际合作。

有两点较为突出。其一，该条将发电侧表述——可再生能源电力与核裂变能——与消费侧表述——新能源消纳与调控——并列。其二，它以”全方位加强国际合作”收尾，将能源转型置于跨境框架之内，而非纯粹的国内议题。这一收尾表述是外资参与的主要切入点，属于方向性表述，而非具体开放清单。

分行业边界：核电与负面清单

“有序发展先进核裂变能”一语需要审慎理解。它出现在关于能源结构的段落中，表明先进核裂变能属于长期能源图景的一部分。但它本身并不改变谁可以投资核电的规则。

核电仍属《外商投资准入负面清单》管理领域。外资进入核电受到限制，具体准入以现行负面清单为准。因此，读者应将能源段落视为技术与供给层面的表述，而非核电运营对外资开放的表述。凡涉及核电的项目，适用规则是现行负面清单，而非能源条款本身。

同样的纪律适用于可再生能源表述。《意见》表明的是方向——高比例可再生能源电力系统，以及完善的消纳与调控政策。就本文而言，它并未给出装机目标或消纳比例数字。投资者应依据后续具体实施文件，而非推断出的数字。

鼓励类目录作为实务框架

对绿色产业外资企业而言，起实际作用的是《鼓励外商投资产业目录》。据公开报道，2025 年版总条目 1679 条，比 2022 年版净增 205 条，修改 303 条。其中，全国目录 619 条（增加 100 条、修改 131 条），中西部等地区目录 1060 条（增加 105 条、修改 172 条）。该目录引导外资投向先进制造业、现代服务业以及中西部地区、东北地区和海南省，自 2026 年 2 月 1 日施行，2022 年版同时废止。

上述数据来自媒体报道，应视为公开报道信息，而非《意见》原文。其对绿色产业的意义在于：鼓励类目录条目，是绿色制造、新能源装备与环境服务被标示为欢迎领域的主要机制。企业应核查自身业务是否列入目录，并将其与负面清单中的分行业限制对照阅读。

外资绿色产业投资者的实务含义

以下为实务观察，不构成官方承诺：

  • 两份清单对照阅读。 鼓励类目录与负面清单是一组配套文件。某一业务可能总体受鼓励，却在具体子行业受限制；限制以负面清单为准。
  • 让技术与方向匹配。 《意见》的表述指向可再生能源发电、新能源消纳与调控，以及示范场景。技术与上述某一方向契合的企业，政策参照点更清晰。
  • 核电单独评估。 鉴于核电由负面清单管理，涉核项目应按该制度评估，而非按能源段落评估。
  • 关注实施文件。 《意见》确定方向。装机目标、消纳规则与激励细节将通过单独的实施文件落地；承载操作细节的是这些文件，而非《意见》本身。
  • 善用区域维度。 鼓励类目录的区域部分表明，投向中西部地区、东北地区和海南省是一项具体侧重，这可能与选址决策相关。

相关考虑

《意见》还将转型表述为贯穿消费、供给、技术与体制的过程，并将其与国际合作相联结。对境外投资者而言，实务上的结论是：中国的绿色产业机会，由政策方向、鼓励类目录与负面清单中的分行业限制三者互动界定。三者中的任何一项单独都不具决定性。《意见》提供方向，两份清单提供操作边界，后续实施文件将提供具体细节。

Brain-computer interface medical devices: China’s innovative registration policy direction | 脑机接口医疗器械：中国创新注册管理政策方向

Overview

In October 2026, the 2026 International Biomedical Industry Innovation Beijing Forum was held in Yizhuang, Beijing. At the forum’s “Neuromodulation and Brain-Computer Interface Technology Industry Development Forum”, an official from the Medical Device Registration Management Department of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) set out the regulator’s current reading of brain-computer interface (BCI) medical devices and the registration policy direction attached to them.

According to the remarks, BCI has been incorporated into China’s 15th Five-Year Plan and written into the Government Work Report, and is expressly positioned as a future industry. On that basis, the regulator said it would put in place supporting innovative registration and management policies to systematically support the research, development and translation of BCI medical devices.

The remarks are a policy-direction statement rather than a new rule. They describe how the existing medical-device registration system is being oriented towards BCI, and they rest on a set of published industry figures that show how the registration base and the innovation-support toolkit have grown.

Key developments

The official’s remarks combined a positioning statement with concrete numbers on China’s medical-device registration landscape.

  • Registration base. As of end-July 2026, China had more than 347,000 valid medical-device registrations and filings, spanning Class III registration certificates, Class II registration certificates and Class I filings.
  • Annual approvals. In 2025, the NMPA approved 14,187 medical-device registrations, an increase of 8 per cent year on year.
  • Clinical translation programme. The “Spring Rain Action” for the translation of clinical innovations in medical devices had collected more than 400 Class III medical-device products, covering high-end tracks such as BCI, interventional surgical robots, AI diagnostic software and high-end interventional implants and biomaterials. 22 quality projects had been placed into an expedited pre-review green channel.

Read together, these figures describe a large and still-growing registration pipeline, and a deliberate effort to move selected high-end products through review faster than the ordinary queue.

Standards first: the pre-review and standards toolkit

Alongside the registration figures, the remarks described the regulator’s operating approach as “front-loading regulation and standards first”.

On standards, the BCI field has seen:

  • three industry standards issued;
  • ten national standards and three industry standards initiated (立项); and
  • one international-standard proposal submitted.

The published standards cover core technical links including EEG acquisition, signal transmission, motor-intention decoding and device reliability.

On regulation, the approach includes:

  • advance planning of regulatory-science research;
  • pre-application technical guidance for a number of both invasive and non-invasive products; and
  • unified rules for product naming and classification.

The “standards first” logic matters for a technology like BCI, where the boundary between a medical device, a consumer wearable and a research instrument can be genuinely unclear. Naming and classification rules, and the existence of standards for core components, are the practical preconditions for a device to move into a defined registration pathway.

Next steps in regulation

The official set out the next steps in general terms: continuing to deepen reform of the medical-device review and approval system and to increase support for high-end innovative devices. Specific measures mentioned included:

  • optimising the review mechanism for “globally new” products;
  • providing front-loaded services such as clinical-trial pre-review and technical consultation; and
  • thereby accelerating the market launch of landmark products.

These are direction statements. They indicate where the regulator intends to concentrate facilitation effort, not the terms on which any individual product will be reviewed.

Practical implications for foreign companies

The following points are analytical observations, not official commitments. They describe what the policy direction may mean for foreign BCI and neurotechnology companies considering the China market.

  • The direction of travel is clearer, the details are not. A stated intent to build supporting innovative registration policies for BCI signals that the regulator is treating the field as a priority. It does not, on its own, change any filing requirement, and no BCI-specific approval timeline, acceptance number or product name has been published.
  • Classification and naming are the first practical questions. Because the regulator is unifying naming and classification rules for BCI, a company’s early task is to understand how its product would be classified and named under the Chinese system, since that determines the registration pathway.
  • Standards participation is a defined channel. With national and industry standards under development and an international-standard proposal submitted, there is an active standards-setting process. Foreign companies commonly monitor or participate in such processes through their China entities or industry associations, though the terms of participation follow the applicable standards rules.
  • Patent and intellectual-property positioning deserves early attention. BCI spans hardware, signal-processing algorithms and software. Companies usually review how their patent portfolio maps onto the Chinese classification and standards landscape before committing to a registration strategy. This is a commercial and legal planning point, not a statement of any regulatory preference.
  • Translation programmes are a signal, not a guarantee. The “Spring Rain Action” pipeline shows that a subset of high-end products is being routed into an expedited pre-review channel. Being in a high-priority field is relevant context, but selection for such programmes is a separate process.

Related considerations

For a foreign company, the sensible reading of these remarks is as a map of the regulator’s priorities rather than a set of entitlements. The registration figures show scale; the standards activity shows the field maturing towards defined technical requirements; and the “front-loading” language shows where facilitation effort is being directed. A company planning a China BCI strategy would typically combine this policy context with a product-specific review of classification, standards alignment, patent position and the appropriate registration pathway, and would confirm current requirements against the latest official publications before relying on any particular route.

脑机接口医疗器械：中国创新注册管理政策方向

概述

2026年10月，2026国际生物医药产业创新北京论坛在北京亦庄举行。在该论坛的”神经调控与脑机接口技术产业发展论坛”上，国家药品监督管理局医疗器械注册管理司相关负责人就脑机接口医疗器械的监管现状与注册政策方向作了介绍。

据该负责人介绍，脑机接口已被纳入我国“十五五”规划、写入政府工作报告，明确作为未来产业予以布局。在此基础上，药监部门表示将配套创新注册管理政策，系统支持脑机接口医疗器械的研发与落地转化。

上述表态属政策方向性说明，而非新出台的规则。它描述的是现行医疗器械注册体系正如何向脑机接口领域倾斜，并以一组已公布的行业数据为依托，展示注册基数与创新支持工具的发展情况。

主要进展

该负责人的介绍将产业定位与具体数据结合在一起，勾勒出我国医疗器械注册的整体面貌。

  • 注册基数。 截至2026年7月底，全国有效医疗器械注册备案产品超过34.7万件，涵盖三类注册证、二类注册证及一类备案产品。
  • 年度批准量。 2025年，国家药监局共批准医疗器械注册14187项，同比增长8%。
  • 临床转化项目。 医疗器械临床创新成果转化“春雨行动”已征集400多个三类医疗器械产品，覆盖脑机接口、介入手术机器人、人工智能诊疗软件、高端植介入生物材料等高端赛道；已有22个优质项目纳入审评前置绿色通道。

综合来看，这组数据一方面说明注册管线规模庞大且仍在增长，另一方面也说明监管机构有意让部分高端产品以快于常规队列的方式通过审评。

标准先行：前置审评与标准工具箱

在注册数据之外，该负责人将监管机构的运行思路概括为“监管前置、标准先行”。

在标准方面，脑机接口领域已实现：

  • 累计发布3项行业标准；
  • 立项10项国家标准、3项行业标准；
  • 提交1项国际标准立项提案。

已发布的标准覆盖脑电采集、信号传输、运动意图解码、设备可靠性等核心技术环节。

在监管方面，相关做法包括：

  • 提前布局监管科学研究；
  • 对多款侵入式、非侵入式产品开展前置技术指导；
  • 统一产品命名与分类界定规则。

“标准先行”的逻辑对脑机接口这类技术尤为重要——医疗器械、消费级可穿戴设备与研究仪器之间的边界有时并不清晰。命名与分类界定规则，以及核心部件标准的建立，是产品得以进入明确注册路径的现实前提。

下一步监管方向

该负责人以总体表述方式提出了下一步方向：持续深化医疗器械审评审批制度改革，持续加大高端创新器械扶持力度。其中提到的具体举措包括：

  • 优化”全球新”产品审评机制；
  • 提供临床试验预审、技术咨询等前置服务；
  • 进而加速标杆产品上市。

这些属方向性表述，指示监管机构拟在何处集中便利化资源，并不等同于任何单一产品的审评条件。

对境外企业的实务意义

以下要点为分析性观察，并非官方承诺。它们描述的是该政策方向对考虑进入中国市场的境外脑机接口与神经技术企业可能意味着什么。

  • 方向更清晰，细节尚未明确。 表态提出将为脑机接口构建配套创新注册政策，说明监管机构将该领域视为优先方向。但这一表态本身并不改变任何申报要求，且截至目前并未公布脑机接口专属的审批时限、受理编号或产品名称。
  • 分类与命名是首要实务问题。 由于监管机构正在统一脑机接口的命名与分类界定规则，企业的早期工作之一是弄清其产品在中国体系下将被如何分类与命名，因为这决定了注册路径。
  • 参与标准化是一条既有通道。 随着国家标准与行业标准在研、国际标准提案已提交，标准化进程处于活跃状态。境外企业通常通过其在华主体或行业协会关注或参与此类进程，但参与条件须遵循适用的标准化管理规定。
  • 专利与知识产权布局宜及早关注。 脑机接口横跨硬件、信号处理算法与软件。企业通常会在确定注册策略前，先梳理其专利组合如何对应中国的分类与标准格局。这属商业与法律规划事项，并非监管倾向性表述。
  • 转化项目是信号，而非保证。 “春雨行动”管线显示，部分高端产品正被纳入审评前置快速通道。身处高优先级领域是相关背景，但能否入选此类项目是另一套独立程序。

相关考量

对境外企业而言，将上述表态理解为监管机构优先事项的路线图，比理解为一系列既得权益更为妥当。注册数据体现规模，标准化活动体现该领域正走向明确的技术要求，”前置”表述则体现便利化资源投入的方向。规划中国脑机接口战略的企业，通常会将这一政策背景与针对具体产品的分类、标准对齐、专利布局及相应注册路径评估结合起来，并在依赖任何具体路径前，依据最新官方发布确认现行要求。

Visa-Free Entry to China: What It Covers and What It Does Not | 免签入境中国：可以做什么、不可以做什么

Overview

China operates several distinct visa-free arrangements for foreign nationals. They are often discussed together, but they have different eligibility rules, different permitted areas and different limits on how long a traveller may stay. This note sets out the boundaries of three of them: the unilateral visa-free policy, the 240-hour visa-free transit, and the 30-day visa-free entry to Hainan. It focuses on what a visa-free arrival does and does not permit, and on how the stay period is counted.

The starting point is that a visa-free arrangement is a limited permission, not a general waiver of visa requirements. It covers short-term visits for defined purposes, within a defined area, for a defined period. Anything outside that scope — including work, study and news reporting — still requires a visa obtained before travel.

The three arrangements

Unilateral visa-free entry. Under this policy, ordinary-passport holders from the eligible countries may enter China without a visa for business, tourism or family visits of up to 30 days. Public reports describe the list as covering 50 countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, and state that the policy has been extended to 31 December 2026. The National Immigration Administration’s published answers set out a further breakdown: for Brunei, the visa-free policy for ordinary-passport holders has no stated end date; for Russia, it runs to 14 September 2026; and for the remaining 46 countries, it runs to 31 December 2026. The two accounts should be read against the latest official announcements.

240-hour visa-free transit. Under this arrangement, a traveller transiting China to a third country or region may enter without a visa for no more than 240 hours (10 days) within the designated areas. It requires an ordinary passport and a connecting ticket to the third country or region with confirmed dates and itinerary. Public reports describe the eligible list as having grown to 57 countries, with entry available from 65 open ports. This item rests on public reporting and should be confirmed against the National Immigration Administration’s releases.

30-day visa-free entry to Hainan. Under this arrangement, citizens of the eligible countries may enter through Hainan’s open ports and stay visa-free for no more than 30 days within the administrative area of Hainan Province. Public reports describe the eligible list as having grown to 61 countries. This item is likewise based on public reporting.

What visa-free entry allows, and what it does not

During a visa-free stay under these arrangements, a traveller may carry out short-term activities such as tourism, business and trade, visits and family visits. Activities that require prior approval — work, study and news reporting — must still be covered by a visa obtained before travelling. A visa-free arrival is therefore not a substitute for the correct permit where the purpose of the trip falls outside the permitted short-term activities.

The arrangements also differ in the area in which the visa-free stay may be spent. The 240-hour transit has designated areas, and the Hainan arrangement is confined to the administrative area of Hainan Province. Travellers should confirm the permitted area for the arrangement they intend to use, because the area condition is part of the arrangement itself.

Counting the stay and the documents required

According to the National Immigration Administration’s published answers, the visa-free stay period is counted from the day after entry and may run for 30 consecutive calendar days. In other words, the day of arrival is not counted as the first day of the permitted stay.

On documents, a foreign national using these policies should hold an ordinary passport that remains valid for the intended travel in China. Holders of documents other than an ordinary passport — such as travel documents, or temporary or emergency certificates — are not covered by the visa-free arrangements.

On tour groups, the published answers state that an eligible foreign national may use the visa-free policy whether travelling in a tour group or individually.

The answers also address the situation where a traveller who entered visa-free later loses or damages the passport. In that case, the border inspection authority verifies identity, entry records or a loss report, together with supporting materials issued by the relevant embassy or consulate in China. Where the materials are correct and there is no violation such as overstaying the visa-free period, exit procedures may be handled in accordance with the law.

Practical steps before travel

  • Confirm the arrangement that fits the trip. If the trip is a direct visit for business, tourism or family reasons, the unilateral policy may apply. If the traveller is passing through to a third country or region, the transit arrangement may apply. If the stay is confined to Hainan, the Hainan arrangement may apply.
  • Check the passport. An ordinary passport, valid for the intended travel in China, is the basic requirement for all three arrangements.
  • Prepare the supporting document for transit. The 240-hour transit requires a connecting ticket to the third country or region with confirmed dates and itinerary.
  • Match the purpose to the permitted activities. If the trip involves work, study or news reporting, obtain the visa before travelling.
  • Note the area condition. For the transit and Hainan arrangements, stay within the designated area or the province, as applicable.
  • Verify the latest list and dates. Because published counts and end dates differ, confirm against the National Immigration Administration and the relevant Chinese embassy or consulate.

Common points of confusion

  • “Visa-free” does not mean “no rules.” It is a permission with a purpose, an area and a time limit attached.
  • The 30-day period is not the same in every arrangement. The unilateral policy and the Hainan arrangement both refer to 30 days, but the transit arrangement refers to 240 hours within designated areas. These are different measures and should not be mixed.
  • A visa-free arrival is not a work permit. Employment still requires the appropriate visa and permit obtained through the proper channels.

A note on country counts and dates

The number of countries covered, and the end dates of the policies, have been described differently in different official answers and reports. The unilateral visa-free list has been described in one account as 50 countries; the 240-hour transit list as 57 countries; and the Hainan list as 61 countries. Each figure relates to a different arrangement and should not be transferred from one to another. Policy is adjusted from time to time. Before travelling, travellers should rely on the latest announcements of the National Immigration Administration and of Chinese embassies and consulates abroad.

免签入境中国：可以做什么、不可以做什么

概述

中国对外籍人员设有若干不同的免签安排。它们常被一并讨论，但适用条件、允许停留的区域以及可停留的期限各不相同。本文梳理其中三类安排的适用边界：单方面免签、240小时过境免签，以及海南30天入境免签。重点说明免签入境可以做什么、不可以做什么，以及停留期如何计算。

出发点在于：免签安排是一项有范围的许可，并非对签证要求的全面豁免。它涵盖的是有明确事由、在明确区域内、在明确期限内的短期访问。超出这一范围的事项——包括工作、学习和新闻采访——仍应在来华前办妥签证。

三类安排

单方面免签。 在该政策下，适用国家的普通护照持有人可免签入境中国，从事经商、旅游、探亲等不超过30天的活动。公开报道称，适用名单涵盖50个国家，包括加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰、英国、法国、德国，并称该政策已延期至2026年12月31日。国家移民管理局公开解答则给出进一步口径：对文莱持普通护照人员的免签政策未设施行期限；对俄罗斯持普通护照人员的免签政策施行至2026年9月14日；对其余46国持普通护照人员的免签政策施行至2026年12月31日。两处口径应以官方最新公告为准。

240小时过境免签。 在该安排下，经中国过境前往第三国或地区的旅客，可在规定区域内免签入境并停留不超过240小时（10天）。须持普通护照和确定日期及行程、前往第三国或地区的联程客票。公开报道称，适用名单已增至57个国家，可从65个对外开放口岸入境。该项据公开报道，应以国家移民管理局发布为准。

海南30天入境免签。 在该安排下，适用国家公民可经海南省对外开放口岸入境，在海南省行政区域内免签停留不超过30天。公开报道称，适用名单已增至61个国家。该项同样据公开报道。

免签允许什么、不允许什么

在上述安排的免签停留期内，旅客可从事旅游、商贸、访问、探亲等短期活动。需要事先批准的活动——工作、学习、新闻采访——仍应以来华前办妥的签证涵盖。因此，当出行事由超出允许的短期活动范围时，免签入境不能替代相应的许可。

各安排在可停留区域上也有差别。240小时过境免签设有规定区域，海南安排则限于海南省行政区域。旅客应就拟使用的安排，确认其允许停留的区域，因为区域条件本身就是该安排的组成部分。

停留期计算与证件要求

据国家移民管理局公开解答口径，免签入境停留期限自入境次日起计算，可连续停留30个自然日。换言之，入境当日不计为允许停留的第一日。

在证件方面，适用上述政策的外国人应持有效期满足在华旅行需要的普通护照。持旅行证、临时或紧急证件等普通护照以外证件的外国人，不适用免签安排来华。

在旅游团组方面，公开解答指出，符合免签来华条件的外国人，无论是参加旅游团组还是个人旅游，都可适用免签政策入境。

解答还涉及免签入境后证件遗失或损毁的情形。此时，中国边检机关将依法核实身份信息、入境记录或报失证明，以及相关驻华使领馆出具的证明材料。材料无误且未有超过免签期限停留等违法情形的，可依法办理出境手续。

出行前的实务步骤

  • 确认与行程相符的安排。 若为直接以经商、旅游、探亲为目的的访问，可能适用单方面免签；若为过境前往第三国或地区，可能适用过境免签；若停留限于海南，可能适用海南安排。
  • 检查护照。 有效期满足在华旅行需要的普通护照，是三类安排共同的基本要求。
  • 为过境准备支持材料。 240小时过境免签要求持确定日期及行程、前往第三国或地区的联程客票。
  • 使事由与允许的活动相符。 若行程涉及工作、学习或新闻采访，应在来华前办妥签证。
  • 注意区域条件。 对过境与海南安排，应分别在规定区域或省域内停留。
  • 核实最新名单与日期。 由于已公布的名单数量与截止日期存在差异，应向国家移民管理局及相关中国驻外使领馆确认。

常见误区

  • “免签”不等于“没有规则”。 它是一项附带事由、区域与期限的许可。
  • 各安排的“30天”并不相同。 单方面免签与海南安排都指向30天，而过境安排指向规定区域内240小时。二者是不同的措施，不应混用。
  • 免签入境不是工作许可。 就业仍需通过正规渠道取得相应的签证与许可。

关于国家数量与日期的说明

关于覆盖的国家数量以及各项政策的截止日期，不同官方解答与报道的表述存在差异。单方面免签名单在一种口径中被描述为50个国家；240小时过境免签名单为57个国家；海南名单为61个国家。每个数字对应的是不同的安排，不应相互套用。政策会不时调整。出行前，请以国家移民管理局及中国驻外使领馆最新公告为准。

Market Regulation Innovation Across the Whole Chain After Hainan’s Island-Wide Closure | 海南自贸港封关后市场监管全链条制度创新

Overview

On 30 September 2026, the Information Office of the Hainan Provincial People’s Government held a press conference. Lin Gang, Deputy Director and Press Spokesperson of the Hainan Provincial Administration for Market Regulation, described how Hainan threads institutional innovation through the whole chain of market regulation, with the stated aim of enabling enterprises to “enter, stay and grow well”.

The account covers four stages of the regulatory chain: access, service, supervision and enforcement. Read together, they describe a shift from treating market regulation as a gatekeeping function towards treating it as a continuous relationship with enterprises, spanning entry, day-to-day operation and the cultivation of the business.

This article sets out the official content of the press conference, the measures described at each stage, the landmark project cited as evidence of the approach, and the points foreign enterprises may wish to examine. It stays within the official record and does not speculate about how the measures will be applied in individual cases.

Institutional innovation at the access stage

At the point of market entry, Hainan is deepening the commitment-based immediate-entry system for market access. Under this approach, an enterprise that makes the required commitments can enter the market without waiting for prior approval, and the reform results are to be codified in local regulations so that the arrangement rests on a firmer legal footing.

Two further access-stage measures were described. The first is to open up cross-border notarisation, authentication and identity verification channels, which concern the paperwork that foreign investors and their representatives must complete when establishing or changing an entity in China. The second is to promote integrated management of foreign investment access and market access, so that the two sets of procedures are handled in a more coordinated way rather than as separate tracks.

For a foreign investor, these points bear on the practical sequence of establishment: how identity and corporate documents are verified, and how the foreign investment access regime connects with the general market access regime.

Service and supervision along the chain

At the service stage, Hainan is establishing an enterprise classification-based service system. Alongside it, the province describes “advance assistance” in the form of tailored guidance, and a “policy express” push mechanism that delivers policy information to enterprises. The stated direction is a move from access convenience towards whole-life-cycle cultivation, so that support continues after the entity has been set up.

At the supervision stage, Hainan applies credit-risk-classified “double random, one open” supervision. Inspection frequency is set differently according to credit rating. Trustworthy operators are described as being left undisturbed, while high-risk dishonest ones are subject to focused supervision. The province is also building a province-wide unified market regulation digital platform that uses big data and artificial intelligence to identify risk indicators, with the aim of shifting supervision from post-event handling towards prevention and in-process control.

At the enforcement stage, Hainan focuses on precise enforcement in key fields, coordinating whole-chain governance in areas such as the platform economy, prices and advertising.

Taken together, the four stages describe a single design: lighter friction at entry, continued service after entry, and supervision calibrated to the risk profile of the operator rather than applied uniformly.

The landmark project cited

The press conference pointed to a landmark project as evidence of the approach in practice. Siemens Energy (Hainan) Co., Ltd. was established on 18 December 2025 in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone, described as the first landmark manufacturing foreign-invested project after the launch of island-wide closure. The company began construction of a gas turbine assembly base and a service centre at the same time.

The timing is notable because it places a manufacturing investment in the early period after island-wide closure. For foreign manufacturers considering Hainan, the project is a concrete reference point for how an establishment and a construction start can proceed under the closure arrangements.

Practical implications for foreign enterprises

Establishment sequence. The access-stage measures — commitment-based immediate entry, codified reform results, cross-border notarisation and identity verification channels, and integrated foreign investment and market access management — bear directly on how an entity is set up and how documents are verified. Foreign investors may wish to confirm the current requirements for their own corporate documents and signatory arrangements.

Whole-life-cycle service. The service-stage measures suggest that after establishment, an enterprise may receive classification-based guidance and policy notifications. Understanding how an enterprise is classified, and which policy channels apply, can help a new entity make use of the available support.

Supervision by credit profile. Because inspection frequency is set by credit rating, the accuracy of an enterprise’s records and its compliance history become operational factors. A clean record is described as attracting lighter supervision, while high-risk dishonest conduct attracts focused attention.

Enforcement focus. The enforcement-stage priorities — platform economy, prices and advertising — indicate the fields in which whole-chain governance is being coordinated. Enterprises active in these areas may wish to review their arrangements accordingly.

Related considerations

The press conference should be read alongside the broader closure framework. Hainan’s island-wide closure is a system of arrangements that includes customs and tax treatment; this article addresses only the market regulation and access-side institutional innovation described at the press conference and does not restate customs or value data covered elsewhere.

The measures described are directional in nature. Terms such as “commitment-based immediate entry”, “whole-life-cycle cultivation” and “prevention and in-process control” describe the intended direction of reform. The specific requirements applicable to a given enterprise will depend on the published rules and on the sector in which it operates.

海南自贸港封关后市场监管全链条制度创新

概述

2026年9月30日，海南省新闻办公室举行发布会。海南省市场监督管理局副局长、新闻发言人林刚介绍了海南如何把制度创新贯穿市场监管全链条，以力求让企业进得来、留得住、发展好。

发布内容覆盖监管链条的四个环节：准入、服务、监管与执法。把它们放在一起看，呈现的是一种转变，即把市场监管从把关式的职能，转向与企业的持续关系，贯穿设立、日常经营与培育发展。

本文梳理发布会的官方内容、各环节所述措施、作为佐证被提及的标志性项目，以及外资企业可能关注的要点，并严格限于官方记录，不对具体个案中措施的适用作出推测。

准入端的制度创新

在市场进入环节，海南深入实施市场准入承诺即入制。在这一方式下，作出所需承诺的企业可以在无需事前批准的情况下进入市场，改革成果则将通过地方性法规加以固化，使相关安排建立在更稳固的法律基础之上。

发布会还介绍了另外两项准入端措施。第一项是打通跨境公证认证、身份核验通道，涉及外国投资者及其代表在华设立或变更主体时需要完成的文件手续。第二项是推动外商投资准入与市场准入一体化管理，使两套程序以更协调的方式处理，而非各自为政。

对外国投资者而言，这些要点关系到设立的实际流程：身份与公司文件如何核验，以及外商投资准入制度与一般市场准入制度如何衔接。

链条上的服务与监管

在服务端，海南建立健全企业分型分类服务体系。与之配套的，是提前帮办形式的定制化指导，以及面向企业推送政策信息的政策直通车机制。所述方向是从准入便利向全周期培育延伸，使主体设立之后仍能获得支持。

在监管端，海南全面推行基于信用风险分类的双随机、一公开监管。抽查频次按信用等级差异化确定。守信经营主体被表述为无事不扰，失信高风险主体则受到重点监管。海南同时加快建设全省统一市场监管数智平台，运用大数据、人工智能精准识别风险隐患，以推动监管从事后处置向事前预防和事中管控延伸。

在执法端，海南聚焦重点领域精准执法，统筹推进平台经济、价格、广告等重点领域全链条治理。

把四个环节放在一起看，呈现的是一套统一的设计：进入环节摩擦更小，进入之后服务延续，监管则按经营主体的风险状况加以校准，而非一律等同对待。

作为佐证提及的标志性项目

发布会提及一个标志性项目，作为这一做法在实践中的佐证。西门子能源（海南）有限公司于2025年12月18日在洋浦经济开发区成立，被表述为全岛封关启动后首个制造业标志性外资项目。该公司同步开工建设燃机总装基地及服务中心。

时间点值得注意，因为它把一笔制造业投资放在了全岛封关后的初期。对考虑布局海南的外国制造业企业而言，该项目是设立与开工如何在封关安排下推进的一个具体参照。

对外资企业的实务影响

设立流程。 准入端措施——承诺即入制、改革成果法定化、跨境公证认证与身份核验通道、外商投资准入与市场准入一体化管理——直接影响主体如何设立、文件如何核验。外国投资者宜结合自身情况确认公司文件与签署安排方面的现行要求。

全周期服务。 服务端措施意味着主体设立之后，企业可能获得分类化的指导与政策推送。了解企业如何被分类、适用哪些政策渠道，有助于新设主体利用可用的支持。

按信用状况监管。 由于抽查频次按信用等级确定，企业记录的准确性与合规历史成为运营因素。记录清晰被表述为可获得较轻的监管，失信高风险行为则受到重点关注。

执法重点。 执法端的重点——平台经济、价格与广告——指出了正在推进全链条治理的领域。活跃于这些领域的企业宜据此复核相关安排。

相关考虑

发布会宜结合封关的更大框架一并理解。海南全岛封关是一套包含海关与税收安排的制度；本文只涉及发布会上介绍的市场监管与准入端制度创新，不重述他处已覆盖的关税或货值数据。

所述措施具有方向性。承诺即入制、全周期培育、事前预防和事中管控等表述，描述的是改革的预期方向。具体适用于某一企业的要求，取决于已发布的规则以及企业所处的行业。

International arbitration and cross-border dispute resolution: developments from the 2026 China Arbitration Summit | 国际仲裁与跨境争议解决：2026中国仲裁高峰论坛的新进展

Overview

In October 2026, the 2026 China Arbitration Summit and the High-Level Dialogue on China’s Maritime and Commercial Arbitration were held in Beijing. The gathering coincided with two anniversaries: the 60th anniversary of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and the 70th anniversary of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC).

Speakers set out the direction of China’s international arbitration development. Among them were Gao Xiaoli, Vice-President and a second-grade Grand Justice of the Supreme People’s Court; Anna Joubin-Bret, Secretary-General of UNCITRAL; Shen Hongyu, Chief Judge of the No. 4 Civil Division of the Supreme People’s Court; Teresa Cheng, Secretary-General of the International Organization for Mediation; and Yang Xiangbin, Director-General of the Public Legal Services Administration of the Ministry of Justice.

Key statements from the summit

On the judiciary. Gao Xiaoli said that over the past 60 years UNCITRAL has made an outstanding contribution to unifying the rules of international trade law. In recent years, she said, the Supreme People’s Court has worked to build an “arbitration-friendly” judicial environment through a series of practical measures: issuing judicial interpretations, publishing an annual arbitration report, compiling typical cases, and running joint training for arbitrators and judges. Going forward, the courts will, as before, support arbitration and will keep improving the quality and efficiency of judicial review of arbitration.

On the arbitral institution and international rules. Anna Joubin-Bret noted that since CIETAC became an observer to UNCITRAL in 2009, it has engaged deeply in discussions on topics such as electronic arbitration awards and the use of artificial intelligence in arbitration, and has carried out innovative practice in handling cases under UNCITRAL arbitration rules. She said UNCITRAL is ready to work with all parties to improve the rules of international commercial arbitration.

On judicial review and enforcement. Shen Hongyu said that, to advance the high-quality development of China’s international arbitration, Chinese courts in judicial review fully implement the relevant provisions of the new Arbitration Law, apply the New York Convention accurately, perform convention obligations in good faith and define public policy strictly and prudently, firmly safeguarding the public interest. Courts also actively promote the organic alignment of litigation, arbitration and mediation and work to build China into a preferred venue for the resolution of international commercial disputes. Going forward, he said, the courts will continue to perform their New York Convention obligations, implement the contents of the newly revised Arbitration Law, and do the supporting judicial interpretation work.

On mediation. Teresa Cheng said that mediation — a dispute-resolution approach that embodies Eastern wisdom — is gaining wider recognition in the international community as rules such as the Singapore Convention and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Mediation take effect. She described the International Organization for Mediation as the first intergovernmental international legal organization dedicated to resolving international disputes through mediation.

Yang Xiangbin of the Ministry of Justice also delivered a keynote speech.

Legislative background

The remarks build on a legislative background. According to public materials, in 2025 the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress successively revised the Arbitration Law, the Maritime Code and the Foreign Trade Law, with the revisions taking effect from 2026. The summit remarks therefore sit alongside a period in which China’s arbitration and foreign-related commercial legislation is being updated.

Practical implications for foreign companies

The following points are analytical observations, not statements of official policy. They summarise considerations commonly relevant to foreign companies when structuring cross-border dispute resolution involving China.

  • Dispute-resolution clause design. In foreign-related contracts, the dispute-resolution clause typically addresses the arbitral institution, the seat of arbitration, the governing law, the language and the number of arbitrators. These choices determine where and how a dispute will be heard and are usually settled at the drafting stage.
  • Cross-border enforcement. A key advantage of arbitration in cross-border disputes is that awards can be enforced across borders under the New York Convention, which the summit remarks described Chinese courts as applying accurately and in good faith. The enforceability of an award in the place where assets are located is usually a central drafting consideration.
  • Confidentiality and expertise. Arbitration proceedings are generally confidential, and parties can select arbitrators with relevant technical or industry expertise — both are common reasons parties choose arbitration over litigation for commercial disputes.
  • Alignment of mediation and arbitration. The summit highlighted the alignment of litigation, arbitration and mediation. Foreign companies may consider whether a tiered clause — mediation first, then arbitration — suits their commercial relationship, while noting that the enforceability of a mediated settlement depends on the applicable international framework.
  • Judicial review in China. Where an award is challenged or enforcement is resisted before a Chinese court, the review is conducted within the boundaries of Chinese law, including the strict and prudent approach to public policy described at the summit. Understanding these boundaries is relevant when assessing enforcement risk.

Related considerations

The summit remarks are best read as a statement of direction: a supportive judicial posture towards arbitration, continued engagement with international rules, and an emphasis on aligning litigation, arbitration and mediation. For a foreign company, the practical value lies in the detail of contract drafting and enforcement planning rather than in any single announcement. Companies typically confirm the current state of the applicable law, convention obligations and institutional rules before finalising a dispute-resolution strategy.

国际仲裁与跨境争议解决：2026中国仲裁高峰论坛的新进展

概述

2026年10月，2026中国仲裁高峰论坛暨中国海事商事仲裁高级别对话会在北京召开。此次会议恰逢两个周年节点：联合国国际贸易法委员会成立60周年与中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会成立70周年。

多位发言者就中国国际仲裁的发展方向作了阐述。其中包括最高人民法院副院长、二级大法官高晓力，联合国国际贸易法委员会秘书长安娜·茹班-布雷，最高人民法院民四庭庭长沈红雨，国际调解院秘书长郑若骅，以及司法部公共法律服务管理局局长杨向斌。

会议主要表态

关于司法支持。 高晓力表示，60年来联合国国际贸易法委员会在推动国际贸易法律规则统一方面作出了卓越贡献。她表示，近年来最高人民法院通过一系列务实举措，努力打造“仲裁友好型”司法环境，具体包括制定司法解释、发布仲裁年度报告、汇编典型案例、开展仲裁员与法官联合培训等。下一步，法院将一如既往支持仲裁，不断提升仲裁司法审查工作质效。

关于仲裁机构与国际规则。 安娜·茹班-布雷指出，贸仲自2009年成为贸法会观察员以来，深度参与电子仲裁裁决、人工智能在仲裁中的应用等议题研讨，并在适用贸法会仲裁规则处理案件方面开展创新性实践。她表示，贸法会愿与各方携手完善国际商事仲裁规则。

关于司法审查与执行。 沈红雨表示，为推进中国国际仲裁高质量发展，中国法院在司法审查过程中全面贯彻落实新仲裁法有关规定，准确适用《纽约公约》，善意履行公约义务，严格审慎界定公共政策，坚定维护社会公共利益。法院还积极促进诉讼与仲裁、调解有机衔接，积极打造国际商事争端解决优选地。他表示，下一步法院将继续履行《纽约公约》义务，落实新修订仲裁法的各项内容，并做好配套司法解释工作。

关于调解。 郑若骅表示，调解作为体现东方智慧的争议解决方式，随着《新加坡公约》和《国际商事调解示范法》等国际规则落地，日益获得国际社会广泛认可。她将国际调解院描述为国际上首个专门以调解方式解决国际争端的政府间国际法律组织。

司法部杨向斌亦发表主旨演讲。

立法背景

上述表态建立在立法背景之上。据公开资料，2025年全国人大常委会先后修订仲裁法、海商法和对外贸易法，均自2026年起相继施行。因此，本次论坛的相关表态，与中国仲裁及涉外商业立法正在更新的时期相叠加。

对境外企业的实务意义

以下要点为分析性观察，并非官方政策表述。它们归纳的是境外企业在安排涉华跨境争议解决时通常需要考量的因素。

  • 争议解决条款设计。 在涉外合同中，争议解决条款通常涉及仲裁机构、仲裁地、适用法律、语言与仲裁员人数。这些选择决定了争议将在何处、以何种方式审理，一般在合同起草阶段即予以确定。
  • 跨境执行。 仲裁在跨境争议中的一项关键优势，是裁决可依据《纽约公约》跨境执行，而本次论坛表态将中国法院描述为准确、善意地适用该公约。裁决能否在资产所在地获得执行，通常是起草时的核心考量。
  • 保密性与专业性。 仲裁程序一般具有保密性，且当事人可选任具备相关技术或行业专长的仲裁员——这两点常是商事争议中当事人选择仲裁而非诉讼的原因。
  • 调解与仲裁的衔接。 本次论坛强调诉讼、仲裁与调解的有机衔接。境外企业可考虑分级条款——先调解、后仲裁——是否契合其商业关系，同时注意经调解达成和解的可执行性取决于所适用的国际框架。
  • 在中国境内的司法审查。 当裁决在中国法院被申请撤销或执行受到异议时，审查在中国法律框架内进行，包括本次论坛所述的严格审慎界定公共政策。了解这些边界，对于评估执行风险具有意义。

相关考量

本次论坛表态宜理解为方向性说明：对仲裁持支持态度的司法立场、与国际规则的持续衔接，以及对诉讼、仲裁与调解相衔接的强调。对境外企业而言，其实际价值更多体现在合同起草与执行规划的细节，而非某一份单独公告。企业在最终确定争议解决策略前，通常会先确认现行法律、公约义务与机构规则的当前状态。

China’s Trade-Fair Platforms at 70 Years: The Canton Fair and the Wider System | 广交会 70 年与中国外贸展会平台体系

Overview

In 2026 the China Import and Export Fair — the Canton Fair — marks 70 years since its founding in 1957. The 140th session runs in three phases at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou from 15 October to 4 November 2026. The anniversary is a natural point to step back from a single session and look at the wider system of national trade-fair platforms, and at what a foreign company can realistically do with a fair visit.

This article separates two layers. The first is official: dates, names and standing facilitation arrangements that can be traced to public sources. The second is practical: how foreign companies commonly use these platforms, which is described below as practical observations drawn from current exhibition practice and customs supervision, not as official policy.

The platform system

China’s national-level exhibition platforms are differentiated by function. Based on their public positioning, they can be grouped as follows:

  • The Canton Fair — comprehensive goods trade, export-oriented, and described as “China’s No. 1 Fair”.
  • The China International Import Expo — a national exhibition with an import theme.
  • The China International Fair for Trade in Services — a platform for trade in services.
  • The Global Digital Trade Expo — a national-level specialised fair for digital trade.
  • The China International Consumer Products Expo — a platform for consumer goods.

For a foreign company, the choice of platform tends to follow the goal rather than the calendar: comprehensive sourcing and export contacts point to the Canton Fair; import-market entry points to the import expo; services, digital trade and consumer goods each have their own dedicated platform. Because the platforms differ in focus, a company can use more than one across a year, matching each visit to a specific objective.

The 140th Canton Fair is the anchor of the autumn season. It is held in three phases from 15 October to 4 November 2026, and it is the session that coincides with the fair’s 70th anniversary. That continuity — a single fair held without interruption since 1957 — is the reason it is often treated as a reference point for China’s foreign-trade exhibition system as a whole.

Standing facilitation for inbound exhibits

The practical machinery around the Canton Fair has become routine. Guangzhou Customs has set up expedited channels for inbound exhibits at major ports in every session since the 133rd Canton Fair. This is a standing arrangement, repeated each session, rather than a measure created for a single edition.

For the 140th session, the first batch of inbound exhibits cleared customs at the Nansha port on 27 September 2026. The batch consisted of teapots, coffee machines and ceramic tableware made in Türkiye — 84 items with a total weight of about 12.3 tonnes. As of 9 October 2026, exhibits had arrived in ten batches through ports including the Nansha port and Baiyun Airport. The fair is also described in customs statements as “China’s No. 1 Fair”, a label that reflects its scale and its long history.

For exhibitors, the relevant point is that the customs side is handled through a repeatable process: exhibits enter under temporary-admission arrangements, and the facilitation channels are in place at the ports each session. A foreign exhibitor preparing a first appearance is therefore working with an established procedure rather than a bespoke one.

What a fair visit is for

For a foreign company, the value of a fair visit is usually described in three practical steps.

First, market testing. A company can bring a sample range, observe how buyers respond, and compare its product against local and international competitors, without committing to a local entity.

Second, channel building. A fair is a concentrated meeting point for distributors, agents and potential partners. Conversations that would otherwise take months of travel can happen in a few days.

Third, compliance reconnaissance. A first visit lets a company learn, at low cost, what its product would need in terms of certification, labelling and customs treatment before it commits to entry.

None of these are official entitlements; they are the practical uses that foreign companies commonly make of exhibition platforms.

Practical notes for foreign exhibitors

The following points are practical observations based on current exhibition practice and customs supervision, and are not statements of official policy:

  • Temporary-admission filing. Exhibits entering for display are handled under temporary-admission arrangements. Filing should be prepared in advance, and the exhibitor should confirm which port and which channel apply.
  • Intellectual-property clearance first. Before exhibiting, check that the products and branding do not conflict with existing rights in China, and prepare the documents that support ownership.
  • Compliant advertising wording. Booth materials and on-site claims are subject to advertising rules; wording should be reviewed before printing.
  • Confirm the contracting party. When signing on-site, the exhibitor should confirm the legal identity of the counterparty and the entity that will perform the contract.
  • Plan the follow-up. A fair generates leads; the work of converting them happens after the visit, through the company’s own follow-up and, where relevant, through domestic investment-promotion channels.

Related considerations

The wider policy context treats these platforms as part of a cross-border exchange system. The state’s language on “actively building a global network for innovation co-operation” and on clustering advanced production factors in pilot free trade zones places exhibition and co-operation platforms within a broader framework of international exchange. For a foreign company, that framing is background rather than a specific entitlement: the practical steps remain registration, compliance preparation and follow-up.

A further practical consideration is timing. The Canton Fair’s three phases fall in October and early November, so a company planning an autumn visit should decide well in advance whether to attend one phase or move across phases, and should align its customs filing and travel arrangements with the phase that matches its product category. Because the facilitation channels at the ports are set up for each session, early preparation is the part of the process most within the exhibitor’s own control.

Taken together, the 70-year history of the Canton Fair and the differentiated set of national platforms give a foreign company a menu of entry points. The choice depends on the objective, and the preparation is largely the same across platforms.

广交会 70 年与中国外贸展会平台体系

概述

2026 年，中国进出口商品交易会（广交会）迎来创办 70 周年——它创办于 1957 年。第 140 届于 2026 年 10 月 15 日至 11 月 4 日在广州中国进出口商品交易会展馆分三期举行。周年节点是从单届展会抽身、观察整个国家级展会平台体系的合适时机，也适合梳理境外企业参加展会的现实用途。

本文区分两个层面。第一层是官方层面：可追溯到公开来源的日期、名称与常态化便利安排。第二层是实务层面：境外企业通常如何使用这些平台，下文将其标注为依据现行展会惯例与监管实践所作的实务要点，而非官方政策。

平台体系

中国国家级展会平台按功能各有分工。按公开定位，可归为以下几类：

  • 广交会——综合货物贸易，以出口为导向，被誉为”中国第一展”。
  • 中国国际进口博览会——以进口为主题的国家级展会。
  • 中国国际服务贸易交易会——服务贸易平台。
  • 全球数字贸易博览会——国家级数字贸易专业展会。
  • 中国国际消费品博览会——消费精品平台。

对境外企业而言，平台的选择往往取决于目标而非日历：综合采购与出口对接指向广交会；进口市场进入指向进博会；服务贸易、数字贸易与消费精品各有专门平台。由于各平台侧重不同，企业可在一年内使用多个平台，让每次到访对应一个明确目标。

第 140 届广交会是秋季档期的锚点。它于 2026 年 10 月 15 日至 11 月 4 日分三期举行，也是与创办 70 周年重合的一届。这种连续性——自 1957 年以来持续举办——正是它常被作为中国外贸展会体系整体参照点的原因。

进境展品的常态化便利

广交会周边的实务机制已趋常态化。广州海关自第 133 届广交会以来，每届在主要口岸设置进境展品通关便捷通道。这是一项每届重复的常态化安排，而非为某一届专设的措施。

就第 140 届而言，首批进境展品于 2026 年 9 月 27 日在南沙口岸通关。该批展品为土耳其生产的茶壶、咖啡机、陶瓷餐具等，共 84 件、总重约 12.3 吨。截至 2026 年 10 月 9 日，展品已通过南沙港、白云机场等口岸分十批次入境。海关发布中亦以”中国第一展”称呼广交会，这一称谓反映了其规模与悠久历史。

对参展企业而言，要点在于通关环节依托的是可重复的流程：展品以暂时进境安排入境，便捷通道每届在口岸就位。因此，首次参展的境外企业面对的是既有程序，而非临时定制的安排。

参展的用途

对境外企业而言，参展的价值通常可归纳为三个实务步骤。

第一，市场测试。企业可携带样品系列，观察采购商反应，并与本地及国际竞争者对比，无需先设立境内实体。

第二，渠道建立。展会是经销商、代理商与潜在合作伙伴的集中会面场所。原本需要数月奔波才能完成的交谈，可在数日内完成。

第三，合规摸底。首次到访能让企业以较低成本了解其产品在认证、标签与海关待遇方面的要求，再决定是否推进进入。

以上均非官方赋予的权利，而是境外企业通常对展会平台的实务运用。

境外参展企业实务提示

以下要点为依据现行展会惯例与监管实践所作的实务观察，不构成官方政策表述：

  • 暂时进境备案。 用于展示的展品按暂时进境安排入境。备案应提前准备，并确认适用口岸与通道。
  • 知识产权先行排查。 参展前应核查产品与品牌是否与中国境内已有权利冲突，并备妥权利归属文件。
  • 广告用语合规。 展位物料与现场陈述受广告规则约束，用语应在印制前复核。
  • 确认合同主体。 现场签约时，应确认对方的法律身份以及将履行合同的实体。
  • 规划展后跟进。 展会带来线索，转化发生在展后，依托企业自身跟进，并在相关情形下借助境内投资促进渠道。

相关考虑

更广的政策语境将这类平台视为跨境交流体系的一部分。国家关于”主动构建全球创新合作网络”以及推动自由贸易试验区集聚先进生产要素的表述，把展会与合作平台置于更广泛的国际交流框架之中。对境外企业而言，这一框架属于背景而非具体权利：实务步骤仍是登记、合规准备与跟进。

还有一个实务考虑是时间安排。广交会三期落在 10 月至 11 月初，因此计划秋季到访的企业应尽早决定是参加其中一期还是跨期参观，并让展品备案与行程安排对应到与自身产品类别相符的期次。由于口岸便捷通道是按届设置的，提前准备是参展企业自身最可控的一环。

综合来看，广交会 70 年的历史与各有分工的国家级平台体系，为境外企业提供了一组进入点。选择取决于目标，而准备工作在各平台之间大体相同。

China’s Opinions on Developing New Quality Productive Forces: The Foreign-Investment Provisions | 《关于发展新质生产力的意见》外资相关条款解读

Overview

On 9 October 2026, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Opinions on Developing New Quality Productive Forces. The document organises its proposals around five areas of innovation and puts forward 19 priority measures. It is a comprehensive policy statement whose main subject is the domestic economy, but several of its provisions speak directly to foreign investors, to cross-border data movement, to pilot free trade zones and to the green transition.

This article reads the Opinions only for the provisions that touch on foreign investment and related areas, and reproduces the official wording where it matters. It does not extend the text beyond what the document says. Where a point is a practical observation rather than the wording of the Opinions, it is marked as such.

The foreign-investment provisions

The most direct foreign-investment language sits in the fourth area of the Opinions, on “solidly advancing institutional and mechanism innovation”. The document states that China will “allocate advanced production factors globally” and that it will “encourage foreign venture capital institutions, international standards organisations and others to develop in China”.

Two points follow from the official wording. First, foreign venture capital institutions and international standards organisations are named among the entities that are encouraged to develop in China. Second, the framing is about factors of production — capital, technology, talent and standards — being allocated on a global basis. The Opinions do not, in the provisions reproduced here, attach numbered sub-measures to specific foreign-investment entry thresholds, and it would be inaccurate to read the text as relaxing any particular admission rule. The wording is one of encouragement and direction.

The fourth area also states that China will “improve the market regulation system and increase the supply of innovative financial products”. These clauses are relevant to the wider operating environment in which foreign-invested enterprises run their business in China.

Data flows, pilot free trade zones and innovation networks

Three further provisions are of practical interest to foreign companies.

  • Cross-border data flow. The Opinions call for “establishing an efficient, convenient and secure mechanism for cross-border data flow”. The three adjectives — efficient, convenient and secure — are the terms the document uses to frame the mechanism. They indicate a direction of policy rather than a set of operational rules; the specific compliance requirements for data export continue to be governed by the applicable data and cybersecurity rules.
  • Pilot free trade zones as carriers. The Opinions state that pilot free trade zones are encouraged to “gather advanced production factors at home and abroad in line with their location, resource endowment and industrial strengths”. This positions the free trade zone network as a channel through which foreign capital, technology and talent can be concentrated.
  • Global innovation cooperation networks. The Opinions call for “jointly building science parks, Belt and Road joint laboratories and international advanced technology application centres and other platforms, and actively building a global innovation cooperation network”. For foreign companies in research-intensive sectors, these platforms describe the institutional forms through which cooperation is expected to take place.

The green dimension

The third area of the Opinions, on “advancing innovation in development models”, carries the environmental and energy content. It states that China will “build a green, low-carbon and circular economic system, improve the policy toolbox for green development and actively advance the energy revolution”.

It also sets out that, “focusing on the goals of peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality, China will develop advanced nuclear fission energy in an orderly manner, build a power system with a high proportion of renewable energy, and improve policies and measures for the consumption and regulation of new energy”. The wording is deliberately qualified — “in an orderly manner” — and it describes a domestic energy system direction. It does not, in the text reproduced here, address foreign participation in specific energy sectors; any such participation would be governed by the applicable admission rules for those sectors.

What the Opinions do not say

It is as useful to note the limits of the text as its content. The provisions reproduced above do not set out new admission thresholds, do not name specific industries that are newly opened to foreign investment, and do not attach deadlines or transitional arrangements to the encouragement they express. They also do not replace the existing framework of admission administration, which continues to be governed by the applicable laws, regulations and negative lists.

The provisions on data flow describe a mechanism to be established rather than a completed regime. The provisions on pilot free trade zones describe a role for the zones rather than a list of measures to be taken in them. The provisions on energy describe a domestic system direction. A reader who needs to know what is permitted today should therefore continue to rely on the operative rules, and should treat the Opinions as an indication of where policy is heading.

Practical implications and constraints

For a foreign investor, the provisions above are best read as a statement of direction rather than a set of immediate procedural changes. They indicate that foreign venture capital, international standards bodies and foreign participants in innovation platforms are within the scope of what the policy encourages, and that pilot free trade zones and cross-border data mechanisms are named as the channels through which those aims are to be pursued.

The Opinions also state a set of constraints that belong in any complete reading. The document stresses that China will “adhere to establishing the new before abolishing the old and to seeking progress while maintaining stability, avoid shifting from the real economy to the virtual, avoid seeking excessive scale and completeness, and avoid creating bubbles, and avoid industrial hollowing-out or industrial breaks”. It further states that “it is strictly prohibited to misuse policies in violation of regulations under the name of developing new quality productive forces”.

These sentences are part of the official text and temper the opening measures. They signal that the policy is to be implemented with discipline, that the real economy is to remain the focus, and that the label of new quality productive forces is not to be used to justify irregular use of policy. A reader who takes only the encouraging clauses and leaves out these constraints would have an incomplete picture.

《关于发展新质生产力的意见》外资相关条款解读

概述

2026 年 10 月 9 日，中共中央、国务院印发《关于发展新质生产力的意见》。文件围绕五个方面的创新提出 19 项重点举措。这是一份以国内经济为主要对象的综合性政策文件，但其中若干条款直接涉及外资、数据跨境流动、自由贸易试验区以及绿色转型。

本文只摘取《意见》中与外资及相邻领域相关的条款，并在关键处照录官方原文表述。本文不超出文件本身所写的内容作延伸。凡属实务观察而非《意见》原文的表述，均已单独标注。

外资相关条款

最直接的外资表述见于《意见》第四方面”扎实推进体制机制创新”。《意见》提出”在全球配置先进生产要素”，并”鼓励外资创业投资机构、国际标准组织等来华发展”。

从官方原文可以读出两点。其一，外资创业投资机构与国际标准组织被明确列入鼓励来华发展的主体范围。其二，其表述落点是生产要素——资本、技术、人才与标准——的全球配置。在本文所摘录的条款中，《意见》并未将具体的编号子措施对应到特定的外资准入门槛，因此把文本理解为放宽了某一项具体准入规则并不准确。其措辞属于鼓励性与方向性表述。

第四方面还提出”完善市场监管制度，加大金融创新产品供给”。这些条款关系到外资企业在中国开展经营所处的整体制度环境。

数据流动、自由贸易试验区与创新网络

另有三个条款对外资企业具有实务意义。

  • 数据跨境流动。 《意见》提出”建立高效便利安全的数据跨境流动机制”。高效、便利、安全这三个词，是文件用以界定该机制的表述。它们指向政策方向，而非一套操作规则；数据出境的具体合规要求仍以适用的数据与网络安全规则为准。
  • 自由贸易试验区作为载体。 《意见》提出，鼓励自由贸易试验区”结合区位特点、资源禀赋、产业优势，集聚国内外先进生产要素”。这一表述把自由贸易试验区网络定位为集聚外资、技术与人才的通道。
  • 全球创新合作网络。 《意见》提出”推动共建科技园区、’一带一路’联合实验室、国际先进技术应用推进中心等平台，主动构建全球创新合作网络”。对处于研发密集型行业的外资企业而言，这些平台描述了合作预期采用的制度形式。

绿色维度

《意见》第三方面”着力推进发展方式创新”承载了环境与能源内容。文件提出”构建绿色低碳循环发展经济体系，优化绿色发展政策工具箱，积极推进能源革命”。

文件同时提出”聚焦碳达峰碳中和目标，有序发展先进核裂变能，构建高比例可再生能源电力系统，完善新能源消纳和调控政策措施”。其措辞有明确的限定——”有序发展”——且描述的是国内能源体系的方向。在本文所摘录的文本中，它并未涉及外资参与特定能源领域的问题；此类参与须以相应领域的现行准入规则为准。

《意见》未作规定之处

指出文本的边界，与说明其内容同样有用。上文所摘录的条款并未设定新的准入门槛，未点名哪些行业新对外资开放，也未为所表达的鼓励配上时限或过渡安排。它们同样没有取代现行的准入管理框架——该框架仍以适用的法律、法规与负面清单为准。

关于数据流动的条款，描述的是一项有待建立的机制，而非一套已经成形的制度。关于自由贸易试验区的条款，描述的是试验区的角色，而非在其中要采取的措施清单。关于能源的条款，描述的是国内体系的方向。因此，需要了解当下可以做什么的读者，仍应依据现行有效的规则，并将《意见》视为政策走向的指示。

实务意义与约束

对外资投资者而言，上述条款更适合被理解为方向性宣示，而非立即可落地的程序性变更。它们表明，外资创业投资、国际标准组织以及创新平台的外资参与者属于政策鼓励的范围，而自由贸易试验区与数据跨境机制则是实现这些目标所点名的通道。

《意见》同时写明了一组约束，任何完整的解读都应包含这部分。文件强调，中国将”坚持先立后破、稳中求进，不能脱实向虚、贪大求全、搞泡沫化，不能出现产业空心化或产业断层现象”。文件还提出”严禁借发展新质生产力之名违规滥用政策”。

这些句子属于官方原文，并对前述举措形成平衡。它们表明，政策实施须讲求纪律，实体经济仍是重心，新质生产力的名义不得被用于为违规滥用政策提供理由。若只摘取鼓励性条款而略去这些约束，所得到的图景将是不完整的。
