Oct. 5 - An official with China's top legislature says the government will maintain its policy of encouraging foreign investment unchanged after the passing of the country's first anti-monopoly law.
The official with the Commission for Legislative1 Affairs of the Standing2 Committee of the National People's Congress said the necessary security checks on foreign investment in domestic enterprises would pose no obstacles to the utilization3 of foreign capital.
The legislature passed the anti-monopoly law on Aug. 30 and it will come into effect on Aug. 1, 2008.
The law requires checks on mergers4 of foreign and Chinese enterprises to ascertain5 whether they affect national security.
"China has already established basic checks on foreign investment through regulations," the official told Xinhua.
A regulation issued by the State Council authorized6 government departments to initiate7 checks if the foreign firms "jeopardize8 national security or public interests" or "employ Chinese developed technology".
Another rule jointly10 published by six ministries11 and departments requires foreign companies to submit to checks if they take control of a joint9 venture in one of China's key industries.
"Checks on mergers of foreign and domestic firms are practiced by many countries," the official said, adding the law was following international practice.
"The anti-monopoly law will intensify12 regulation of the market and help to provide a better market environment for both domestic and foreign investors," he said.
The official said the law would prevent SOEs in monopolistic industries such as petroleum13, telecommunications, mail services and tobacco from abusing their market dominance to lower services and disregarding the public interests.
China joins more than 80 countries in adopting an anti-monopoly law.Drafting of the law began in 1994.
Experts said China's socialist14 market economy had matured in the last decade, and the current market circumstances made the introduction of an anti-monopoly law imperative15.
