China on Friday issued revised rules for foreign investors in listed companies, broadening eligibility criteria and easing financial requirements in a bid to attract more foreign investment.
The Ministry of Commerce said in a statement that under the new regulations, China will allow overseas individuals to make strategic investments in listed companies.
The asset threshold for non-controlling foreign investors has been lowered from US$100 million to US$50 million.
The country will also add tender offers as an approved investment method, as well as private placements and negotiated transfers, the statement said.
