The negative lists show the sectors in which foreign investment is restrained. One list is applicable to free trade zones and the other one is applicable to the rest of the country. The reduction of the “negative” list items shows that China is promoting a greater market for foreigner investors and at the same time also that less and less industries are restricted.
