Abstract: National treatment has gone beyond its traditional usage applied only in the post-establishment stage, and begins to extend to pre-establishment stage. International investment agreements also differ in the provisions of national treatment. Pre- and post- establishment mutational treatment has different impact on host country's economy. With the advance of economy globalization, international investment will also develop in the liberalizing direction. When entering into future international investment agreements should consider the extent to which national treatment extends to the pre-establishment stage and the flexibility that developing countries should retain. We should treat this matter with care in future international investment negotiations, and device proper strategies with respect to our economic development level, the situation of FDI utilization and overseas investment.
