Providing detailed guidance on how to apply for and secure approval from China's complex registration process for foreign investment enterprises, Invest in China: A Guidebook for Foreign Investment Enterprises is an essential resource for foreign companies and investors seeking to achieve a successful entry into the Chinese lucrative market and avail of a low cost manufacturing base.

China is one of the fastest growing global economies. It has achieved and maintained an annual compound growth rate of GDP well above 9% since the 1980s. China is expected to become the second largest economic entity in the world by 2012, and will continue to be a top destination attracting foreign companies and investors from around the world for the foreseeable future.

The first obstacle faced by foreign companies and investors is how to file the application for registration of foreign investment enterprise. This involves not just Chinese laws and administrative regulations, but also various Chinese government authorities.

In China, government authorities administer and control the process of application and approval for registration of foreign investment enterprises and investment projects. They apply very demanding administrative measures and regulations. Moreover, these exorbitant administrative regulations are changeable and lack transparency. The legal procedure of setting up a foreign investment enterprise in China, unlike in Western countries, requires comparatively complex documents. Lack of knowledge of the Chinese laws and administrative regulations, and the cultural difference between China and Western countries (including language barriers) will increase the challenge faced by foreign companies and investors. Therefore, a comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the latest Chinese laws and regulations has become an essential prerequisite for foreign companies and investors.
