China eyes bigger say in global investment rules

China is seeking to play a more active role in shaping global investment rules. This is according to a senior Chinese commerce official. One of the goals is to address the rising protectionism and investment conflicts Chinese firms are confronting when expanding abroad.

Speaking at an on-going commerce law conference in Beijing, Chong Quan, a senior trade representative with the Chinese commerce ministry, says the government will try to play a more active role in formulating international investment rules. His words come as Chinese enterprises are confronted with a rise in investment barriers in their overseas expansion.
