The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently released an unofficial English translation of the National Development and Reform Commission’s  (NDRC) Catalogue Guiding Foreign Investment in Industry. This copy, courtesy of the U.S. Chamber, is available on the  AmCham-China site for members only. 

Compiled by the (NDRC), the catalog provides information about areas where the Chinese government is currently encouraging foreign investment and provides insight into further areas of growth. AmCham-China members should take note of the sectors where foreign investment is welcomed or restricted because it may affect how business is done in China in the future. A pdf of the Chinese-language version of the catalog is also available. 

The NDRC is a macroeconomic management agency under the State Council of the PRC, which studies and formulates policies for economic and social development, maintains a balance of economic aggregates, and guides the overall economic system restructuring.
