China rolled out a plan on Monday to stabilize foreign investment this year, signaling the country's determination to achieve high-level opening-up in the face of rising global protectionism, analysts said.

分析人士表示，2月10日，中国推出《2025年稳外资行动方案》，以稳定今年的外商投资，表明中国在面对全球保护主义抬头时实现高水平开放的决心。

The plan, adopted at the State Council executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Qiang, outlined more practical and effective measures to both retain existing and attract new foreign investment because of the vital role that foreign-invested businesses play in terms of job creation, export stability and industrial upgrading.

2月10日，国务院总理李强主持召开国务院常务会议，审议通过《2025年稳外资行动方案》。该方案概述，外资企业在吸纳就业、稳定出口、促进产业升级等方面都具有重要作用，要拿出更多务实管用的举措，以稳定现有外资、吸引新的外资。

China will fully implement its commitment to remove all market access restrictions for foreign investors in the manufacturing sector and expand the list of sectors encouraging foreign investment, according to the plan.

根据该方案，中国将落实全面取消制造业领域外资准入限制要求，扩大鼓励外商投资产业范围。

The country will encourage foreign enterprises to reinvest their capital within the Chinese market and participate more actively in equity investments. Meanwhile, steps will be taken toward optimizing the rules and regulations governing foreign mergers and acquisitions, as outlined in the plan.

方案表明，中国将加大外资企业境内再投资支持力度，鼓励外资在华开展股权投资，同时采取措施优化外资并购规则。

Foreign enterprises will be treated on an equal footing with their Chinese counterparts in government procurement, according to the plan, which also put an emphasis on widening the financing options available to foreign-invested enterprises and strengthening intellectual property protection for them.

方案指出，要在政府采购等工作中做到内外资企业一视同仁，拓宽外资企业融资渠道，加大知识产权保护力度。

China will further open up its services sector, with a particular focus on accelerating pilot programs in key areas such as telecommunications, healthcare and education, said Li Yongjie, deputy international trade representative of the Ministry of Commerce, at a news conference in mid-January.
