Abstract: Abstract For many foreign investors, developing a comprehensive understanding of China poses a major challenge. China is a complex society, by virtue of its deeply embedded and multi-layered cultural heritage, its long history, its diverse social and political development, and its vast geographical scale which encompasses both national common characteristics and strong local identities, traditions and distinctive dialects. This complexity, combined with the rapid changes in the country at present, makes it extremely difficult to reach an adequate understanding of contemporary developments. As Child pointed out,2 foreigners often find it difficult enough simply to secure valid descriptions about China, let alone comprehensive understanding. This book is our attempt to help (potential) foreign investors to understand contemporary developments in China in the broad area of foreign investment environment.
