──Mar 10 , 2022Why do Chinese companies need to file investment records when investing overseas?

Due to the foreign exchange control in China, the investment funds of Chinese enterprises in setting up subsidiaries abroad can be transferred out of China through normal channels of foreign exchange purchase only after they have been put on record. After the profits of the overseas subsidiaries, they can also be paid back to the domestic parent company in the form of dividends.

Individual foreign investment cannot be put on record at present, because the state does not allow individual foreign investment. They need to file with the provincial Department of Commerce and the Provincial Development and Reform Commission respectively. For example, some sensitive industries cannot be successfully registered, such as the research and development, production and maintenance of weapons and equipment, cross-border water resources development and utilization, real estate, hotels, entertainment, film and television industry, football clubs, etc., especially the equity investment funds or investment platforms established overseas without specific industrial projects.
