To standardize outbound investment activities, the State Council has enacted relevant regulations, which will take effect from July 1.

On June 1, the State Council established the latest regulations regarding the "Regulations of the State Council on Outbound Investment," which were approved at a State Council meeting on April 17, 2026, and have now been publicly announced, officially coming into force from July 1 of this year.

The regulation clearly states that the state supports investors in conducting outbound investment activities based on market principles, actively participating in international cooperation and competition, with investors enjoying autonomous rights over outbound investments, making independent decisions, bearing risks, and being responsible for profits and losses.

When engaging in outbound investments and related activities, investors should comply with laws, regulations, and international practices, respect local customs and cultural traditions, adhere to business ethics, act honestly and in good faith, compete fairly, fulfill social responsibilities, and safeguard the national image.

At the same time, investors must not disrupt market competition order, damage the ecological environment, or harm the legitimate rights and interests of workers. They must not endanger China's national security, harm national interests, or social public interests.

To ensure that outbound investments are conducted in a regulated and orderly manner, the investment authorities and commerce authorities of the State Council will work jointly with other relevant agencies to formulate, adjust, and implement outbound investment policies based on the needs of national economic and social development, changes in the national investment environment, and risk levels.

Meanwhile, relevant departments will continue to strengthen full-process supervision, urging various investors to strictly adhere to compliance requirements, regulate overseas investment operations, and ensure the steady and orderly progress of outbound investments.

Therefore, when engaging in outbound investment activities, investors are required to legally complete procedures such as filing and registration, information reporting, and cross-border fund registration. They should also comply with relevant national regulations, truthfully submit relevant materials, and cooperate with supervision and inspection by relevant authorities.

In addition, investors must not export or use goods, technologies, services, or related data that are prohibited from export by the state, nor export or use goods, technologies, services, or related data that are restricted for export without permission.

Specifically, investors must not transfer goods, technologies, services, or related data that are prohibited or restricted for export by the state through cross-border dispatch of technical personnel, organizing personnel to work abroad, providing technical guidance, or arranging cross-border training.
