Legislative Proposals on Shanghai Free Trade Zone Foreign Investment Entry Facilitation

The main idea of this paper is that the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone should proactively align with international high - standard investment facilitation rules (especially the WTO Agreement on Investment Facilitation, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans - Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP)). It should fully leverage its legislative authorization advantages and carry out institutional - type opening - up innovation. Through this, it should conduct pioneering legislative explorations in the facilitation of foreign investment access to consolidate its international competitiveness and leading position in China.
