Chongqing Development and Reform Commission has published a draft Notice on
Improving Full‑Lifecycle Services for Foreign Investment Projects for public
comment. The draft pledges to protect foreign investors’ lawful rights, advance
municipal foreign‑investment legislation, and strictly apply pre‑establishment
national treatment plus the negative list, banning entry restrictions targeted
at foreign capital. It calls for continued special inspections to root out
implicit barriers, opens complaint channels, and promises strict enforcement
against differential treatment, hidden thresholds and selective law enforcement.
The draft also guarantees equal participation by foreign firms in government
procurement and requires soliciting foreign‑invested enterprises’ views when
drafting policies on using foreign capital.
