**On December 26, 2018, the National People’s Congress (NPC) of China published the draft Foreign Investment Law (New Draft), seeking for public opinions. This draft is considered as an updated version based on a draft made by China’s Ministry of Commerce which was published four years ago.**





Notably, comparing to the MOFCOM Draft, the scale of the New Draft shrinks significantly from 170 articles to 39 articles, with certain aspects removed from the scope of the law and various detailed implementation rules replaced by more generic articles.
