DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nPositive list is the long practice used by China t
 o regulate foreign investment. Specifically\, the central government has g
 uided the foreign investment by promulgating the catalogue of industries w
 hich are open\, restricted or forbidden to foreign investment. This practi
 ce has been changed first in those free trade zones by the adoption of the
  negative list\, and will be reversed eventually in 2018 according to the 
 decision made by the State Council. This change is not only the focus of t
 he on-going Sino-American BIT negotiations\, but also the centerpiece of t
 he newly-made Foreign Investment Law.\n\nBrief bio\n\nJiaxiang HU is the p
