For Swedish and Western companies seeking and making investments in China it becomes more important to be aware of the trends pending and forming the investment climate for foreign companies today and in the future. Which trends are expected to improve, or challenge, the investment climate for foreign companies in China? In 2017 the country has issued circulars such as ‘20 Measures to attract foreign investments’ and another ‘22 measures to further improve the business environment for foreign investment’, including fiscal and taxation incentives and other actions to improve the business climate.
