Abstract

Over the past decade, the total amount of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has fluctuated constantly with China as the leading recipient of FDI. The World Investment Report of 2020 shows that, looking back at 2019, FDI flows to developing Asian economies fell 5 percent to $474 billion. However, Asia remains the world’s largest recipient of FDI, with more than 30 percent of global FDI inflows in 2019. Moreover, China’s absorption of FDI reached 141 billion in 2020 at record highs [1]. With the influx of FDI, China has implemented a negative list system for market access and strengthened the Foreign Investment Security Review (FISR) to improve investment facilitation while ensuring national security. Conclusively, whether from the perspective of China’s investment situation, system construction, or the international situation, it is of great significance to analyze the FISR based on the currently effective regulations in China. This paper will point out the problems hidden in the current FISR from aspects of review subjects and division of authority, the criteria of review, and specific procedure, then provide practical and valuable improvements in response to the above problems. This not only makes up for the deficiencies of the relevant legal system in China but also provides a reasonable reference for the optimization of the relevant legal system in the world.
