Abstract:　

With competition pressure from outside, the emerging economies relaxed the regulation of inbound foreign investment. The relaxation of regulation does not mean giving up macro management. Based on their own specific circumstances, the emerging economies have adopted different modalities, mainly including raising the threshold for projects requiring approval, practicing administration of project list subject to approval, restricting some areas and fully liberalizing foreign investment.
