Along with the implementation of the Measures on the Administration of Foreign Investment in Commercial Fields (hereinafter referred to as "Measures"), the former regional restrictions on foreign investors are abolished. Moreover, business scopes can be expanded, and the requirement for registered capital is largely reduced. Foreign invested commercial enterprises, with flexible operation modes, can be established in a manner of proprietorship, joint venture or cooperation, grant others to open stores by way of franchising, and also engage in one or more sales businesses at the same time. More importantly, once being approved, the foreign invested commercial enterprises will automatically have rights to import and export, so they are very popular among overseas investors.
