a plan investors abroad are keeping a keen eye on a staggering nine hundred fifty thousand foreign companies already operate in china if invested a total of some two point one trillion u.s. dollars so far that's the equivalent of a sixth of chinese total economic output last year and that's despite china up until now forced foreign companies to how to what technology secrets now that's apparently going to stop details are still sketchy but here's the chairman of the national development and reform commission. do you know what is on we will protect and boost the system of investment for foreign companies we will ensure the legal protection of intellectual property belonging to foreign investors you know administrative measures will be taken for a forced technology transfer this should provide a more powerful and comprehensive legal guarantee that once legislation is passed will fully comply. so is change really on the way it was need to discuss this

is a must count for us he's an economic analyst from the mcconnell institute of china studies him berlin welcome marks is this the big breakthrough we've been waiting for i think we're going to have to wait and see but for implementation china has quite generous laws in other respects but they're not always implemented or not always followed and when not to wait for that the law does look good in certain census. to seen so far is a is a draft which will be discussed for one friday in an attempt potentially put into law monday at the law has several clauses which some quite promising and it's it's what it primarily does is that it's removed a lot of administrative costs that existed in the past so foreign investment. approval who will be easier for from now on it also grounds national treatment to companies because it made the foreign companies are to be treated the ass chinese companies as long as they're not investing in different sectors apart from that as

you mentioned in and in the in the opening to the segment. technology transfer is not going to be such a big thing anymore and additionally discount to be more ip protection and so on is it very clear cut i mean is it or will it be exceptions will there be a several clauses to it can they still come to to western companies and say look you've got to tell us this because maybe you're in the defense that that doesn't seem to be the case so national security is meant. several times in the last of for example if a if a company doesn't it hit the chinese national security it can be exceptions can be made additionally there will be a negative list that will be published by the state sec council at some later point do you think it is this going to be watered down abuse that it's a draw is this going to be watered down during this people's congress or is it just going to be way through i'd honestly can't tell you where we'll have to wait and

see ok. will this really make foreign investment easy and will it bring money into the country looks like it will make foreign investment easier as to whether or not it will bring foreign investment into the country i think well it makes it easier but foreign investment depends on all kinds of factors such as how quick the economy is growing the month of capital looks it's not a conscious and so instead there are many factors at play but as far as legal restrictions go it's becomes a little piece you know. why does this where does this change of heart come from why does it come now i think it's hard to think that it's not related to the american trade negotiations especially since things like forced technology transfer are explicitly mentioned in the documents. about this is exactly the seems related to that but apart from that china has been talking about to open in more to foreign investment for a long time so there's also economic reasons that does foreign companies have been complaining about not getting equal treatment so and the chinese economy has also

been slowing down a little bit recently so bringing in more fat foreign capital can definitely help that that. the institute for china's thank you thank you very much for joining me this do. for disgraced former miss on boss call's go on it's third time lucky he's finally been released from japanese present on an almost nine million million dollar bail he's now awaiting trial on a variety of serious charges amounts to underreporting his salary for years and passing on personal losses to this son if convicted he could be facing a sentence of up to fifteen years in prison. carlos grown seen here where in the light blue cap is out of jail after a three month stint behind bars now the ousted nissan chairman can discuss his defense strategy with his lawyers in a private accommodation his new home is monitored by cameras and his internet access is limited and was granted bail thanks to his new legal team which he hired
