国内英语新闻:China's investment environment improving, not worsening

"Foreign companies should adapt to the change as a sound legal system and an open, fair and transparent business environment will benefit all market players," said He Manqing, head of the Research Center on Transnational Corporations affiliated to China's Ministry of Commerce.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government has also attempted to listen to voices of foreign companies on policy making.

The government is making relentless efforts to enhance protection of intellectual property rights, an issue of major concern for foreign companies.

In April, China modified draft rules of "indigenous innovation" programs after foreign companies' complaints. The revised rules dropped previous requirements that trademarks and brands must first be registered in China to be qualified as "indigenous innovation" and a product must possess technology that matched international standards.
