On July 30, 2018, the Ministry of Commerce, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission, State Administration of Taxation, State Administration for Market Regulation and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange jointly issued the Measures for Administration of Strategic Investment by Foreign Investors into Listed Companies (Draft for Comment) ("Comment Draft"). The currently effective Measures for Administration of Strategic Investment by Foreign Investors into Listed Companies ("Effective Measures"), which became effective on January 31, 2006, have only undergone minor non-principled revisions in 2015 and have been unable to meet practice requirements. The management of foreign-invested enterprises has entered a new age of record-filing, particularly since the promulgation in 2016 of the Interim Measures for Administration of Record-keeping for Establishment and Alteration of Enterprises with Foreign Investment ("Interim Measures"), (for details, see [Foreign investment in A-share Listed Companies: New Record-filing changes]), and the Effective Measures has proven to be quite inconsistent with current foreign investment management practices.
