Specifically, these policies will increase efforts to promote high-level opening-up to the outside world, including further reducing the negative list of foreign investment access; On the other hand, we will comprehensively optimize the business environment and create the "Invest in China" brand, including providing comprehensive national treatment in areas of great concern to foreign-funded enterprises such as intellectual property, government procurement, bidding, and standard formulation.
