Features: This book is a writing tool that combines theory with practice and has distinct characteristics. First, it is scientific and practical. The primary readers of this book are economic workers in China, especially those engaged in utilizing foreign investment. Therefore, the author does not discuss international investment document writing in general but focuses on the needs of the above-mentioned group by selecting key and commonly used document types such as foreign-invested enterprise documents, foreign loan documents, and securities issuance documents. The book highlights the most important and frequently used formats, ensuring emphasis on key points. Additionally, each chapter, section, and article are interconnected yet self-contained, reflecting a scientific and rigorous approach. Each document type briefly introduces its function, structural norms, writing procedures, and key methods, along with format templates and examples, aiming to help readers grasp the essentials of writing.
Second, the book adopts a new theory that has significant influence in both domestic and international linguistics and writing studies—Systemic Functional Theory. It explains each document type by focusing on three aspects: function, structure, and writing procedures and methods, highlighting why to write, what to write, and how to write, simplifying complexity. This not only makes learning clear and straightforward but also facilitates the standardization, normalization, and modernization of writing. Therefore, the book is not only suitable for reference by practitioners but can also serve as an elective textbook for educators.
Third, the book is standardized and concise. It is compiled based on the latest laws and regulations. All content is based on current national and international regulations and standards. Where national regulations exist, the book strictly follows them; where they do not, it refers to international regulations and practices. In terms of writing, it emphasizes accurate, concise, and accessible language that is appropriate and well-suited. The publication of this book will play a positive role in improving the writing skills of economic workers in international investment documents and promoting the development of China's international investment industry.
