China has been routinely slashing its catalogue governing foreign investment in recent years. With the release of a new negative list less than two months away, Chinese analysts from the National Development and Reform Commission NDRC and the Ministry of Commerce MOFCOM as well as from the legal and industrial sectors, discussed how China will update its negative list this year. Bai Ming, deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce's International Market Research Institute, said that negative list revision will involve the NDRC and the MOFCOM, and foreign companies and industry associations will also be consulted. In March, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang announced that China would revise and issue the negative list for foreign investment by the end of June at the Boao Forum for Asia annual conference in South China's Hainan Province.
