On Legal Impediments and Countermeasures in the Practice of National Treatment for Foreign Investment in China

世界贸易组织关于国际投资的“国民待遇”原则 ,对我国的外商投资立法 ,具有重大指导意义。中国对外商投资企业实行真正意义上的国民待遇 ,还存在许多法律障碍问题。如国民待遇参照的“国民”标准问题、市场公平问题、国民待遇被“多边化”问题等。我国立法、司法中应采取消除差别 ,充分利用“例外条款”等措施 ,并根据我国加入的国际经济条约 ,做好立法对接 ,完善我国与外商投资国民待遇相关的法律制度。

It is of great importance for China to abide by WTO principle of national treatment in our legislation of international investment. However, there is still quite a distance away from the actual implementation of this treatment in China as a result of some legal impediments. Such legal impediments include what standards to follow in conducting national treatment, and the issues of market fairness and multi_nationalization in national treatment. The Chinese government should take measures to eliminate legislative unfairness and discriminations, and make full use of the “exception clauses” in our legislation and administration of justice. In accordance with the international economic treaties our country has acceded, we should also adjust our overall legal framework to make them consistent with the principles of WTO so as to improve our legal regulations concerning the national treatment for foreign investment in China.
