Opportunities for foreign investors to integrate into the Chinese market have increased since the launch of the China Pilot Free Trade Zone, in September 2013. While there are five avenues to acquire a business in China, foreign investors most commonly use joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned enterprises.

Joint ventures

A joint venture is a business arrangement between a foreign partner and a Chinese partner with profits and losses being shared between the partners. The two most common types of joint ventures are the equity joint venture and the cooperative joint venture. Both types require the drafting of a detailed contract specifying the responsibilities, rights and interests of each partner. This usually involves a lengthy and complex negotiation between the partners.

Chinese partners typically bring their market knowledge, preferential market treatment and manufacturing capability to the venture, with the foreign partner contributing the technology, manufacturing know-how and marketing experience.
