Three departments: allow foreign-funded equity investment institutions that meet the conditions to participate as strategic investors in the securities issuance of non-related industry listed companies.

The Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance have issued a notice on the release of the "Action Plan for Utilizing Foreign Investment to Ensure Stability and Promote Excellence". It points out the need to improve the system for managing foreign mergers and acquisitions. It is necessary to speed up the revision and promulgation of regulations on foreign investors acquiring domestic enterprises, optimize the merger and acquisition management process and price payment requirements, and enhance departmental regulatory coordination. Qualified foreign equity investment institutions are allowed to participate in the securities issuance of listed companies in unrelated industries as strategic investors, in order to better leverage the effectiveness of strategic investments.
