Features: Currently, China has become one of the main destinations for foreign direct investment in the world. However, as cross-border mergers and acquisitions have gradually become an important form of foreign direct investment flows, the share of cross-border mergers and acquisitions conducted in China remains relatively small. Cross-border mergers and acquisitions can play a significant role in the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, particularly in revitalizing China's old industrial base in the northeast. The Chinese government has implemented relevant regulations to relax cross-border mergers and acquisitions, but these regulations and policies still need further expansion of the opening process and increased transparency. China's Cross-Border M&A Policy Report 2006 reviews the development of China's investment policies since 2003, evaluates the progress China has made in establishing a sound and effective cross-border mergers and acquisitions policy framework, identifies the remaining obstacles, and proposes policy recommendations. This report is part of the OECD's ongoing collaboration with non-member countries worldwide.
