，It is the result of negotiations between China and WTO members, including the United States.，Comply with WTO rules and my country’s commitments。“When foreign investment enters some industries in China, they need to enter into joint ventures.，This is in compliance with WTO regulations。"Since the reform and opening up, China has always attached great importance to the use of foreign capital.，and continue to improve the business environment within the framework of WTO rules.。
"Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said，After joining WTO，China follows WTO rules, including the principle of national treatment and the principle of most-favored-nation treatment.，Cleaned up and improved the Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Foreign-Invested Enterprise Law and their implementation rules，The content involves the removal of restrictions such as foreign exchange balancing clauses。
"China has fulfilled its WTO commitments，Currently, foreign-invested enterprises
Require
It is fully in compliance with WTO rules。"The U.S. "301" investigation report accuses China of "forced technology transfer"，"This is unfounded。Tu Xinquan, Dean of the WTO Research Institute at the University of International Business and Economics, said，There are no laws in China that require foreign companies to transfer technology to Chinese partners.。 “WTO rules do not prevent normal commercial technology transfers。
"Xing Houyuan, Director of the China Service Outsourcing Research Center of the Ministry of Commerce said，The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights is a multilateral trade agreement of the World Trade Organization。
The scope of protection under the TRIPS Agreement includes：Copyright and related rights、trademark、regional identification、Industrial product design、patent、Integrated circuit layout design、Undisclosed information includes seven types of intellectual property including trade secrets，Minimum protection is provided
Require
；and involves the control of behavior that restricts competition，Establishes and strengthens intellectual property enforcement procedures，Conditionally treat members of different types differently。
“The United States cannot provide any legal or policy evidence to prove that China has violated the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.。” “After China’s accession to the WTO，Compare the relevant rules of the WTO Agreement，Great efforts have been made in intellectual property protection。
" said Zhou Mi, deputy director of the Institute of Americas and Oceania, Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce.，Back in June 2008，China releases “National Intellectual Property Strategy Outline”，Reorganize government agencies and interdepartmental joint mechanisms for intellectual property protection，Build an intellectual property legal system that is consistent with WTO rules and China’s national conditions，in trademark、trade secret、patent、Aligning copyright protection laws and regulations with international practices，Establishing intellectual property courts or specialized judicial institutions，Strengthen enforcement of intellectual property rights protection。
“The original intention of the WTO in formulating intellectual property rules is to promote the spread of technology，rather than preventing technology transfer，therefore，WTO rules should not be abused，It should not become a tool for the United States to implement trade protectionism.。"Xing Houyuan said。 Joint ventures and cooperation are established on a voluntary basis，Foreign investors gain huge profits from joint ventures, Xing Houyuan believes，Sino-foreign joint ventures are a very common method of attracting foreign investment in China.。
In Sino-foreign cooperative enterprises，Foreign investment usually consists of foreign exchange capital、advanced technology，The Chinese side usually invests in factories.、Land and skilled and cheap labor。Both Chinese and foreign parties to the joint venture reached an agreement after careful and careful business negotiations.，In line with the spirit of the contract。
"Technology transfer between enterprises，entirely in accordance with the contract，one willing to transfer，The other one is willing to accept the transfer，Pay appropriate economic consideration，This is a voluntary act，The government should not interfere。"Xing Houyuan said。 “The so-called technology transfer is not a problem at all.，Because this is the normal business behavior of foreign-funded enterprises。
Gao Lingyun said，Chinese law allows foreign investors to set up joint ventures with technology investment，Chinese companies are also willing to introduce new technologies and are willing to pay reasonable intellectual property royalties for this purpose.，Technology transfer parties can thus obtain considerable technology transfer benefits.，To offset previous R&D investment and make new R&D investment。 “The joint venture brings clear benefits to all parties。
"Li Yong said，Some U.S. companies use joint ventures，Achieved huge gains in China，For example, a well-known American automobile company has established a joint venture in China.，China now produces more cars than anywhere else in the world，Includes cars produced in the United States。The joint venture generates more profits than it earns in the United States，More profits than this company has in any other country in the world。
“That’s the benefit of a joint venture，Bring benefits to both China and the United States，How can such a thing be called forced technology transfer?
” Gao Lingyun thinks，The development of foreign-funded enterprises in China conforms to the judgment of economic theory：Foreign-funded enterprises are entering a new、When the market is unfamiliar，Generally, they take the initiative to choose joint venture or cooperation.，Rather than choosing sole proprietorship，Because the cost of entering a company to familiarize itself with the market environment of the host country，It will be higher than the cost of cultural conflicts caused by joint ventures and cooperation with host country enterprises.。
“Contrary to the ‘foreign capital withdrawal wave’ hyped by some foreign media，China's use of foreign investment is stable while making progress，The final analysis is that foreign companies are optimistic about China’s investment environment and opportunities.。Gao Lingyun said，The World Investment Report 2025 released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development shows，2025China still ranks second in the world in attracting foreign investment。
This achievement is in line with China’s long-term emphasis on improving the development environment for foreign-invested enterprises.、Continue to promote investment facilitation measures、Continue to relax market access conditions、Efforts such as the comprehensive implementation of the negative list management model are inseparable.。Just imagine if there were no generous returns，Or not equal、unfair，How could there still be a large inflow of foreign capital? Tu Xinquan said，China is currently the main investment destination for U.S. companies。
Six out of every 10 companies surveyed in the American Chamber of Commerce's "2025 China Business Environment Survey Report" ranked China as one of the top three investment destinations in the world.。Another 46% of the surveyed companies believe that the Chinese government will further open the market to foreign investment in the next three years.，An increase from 34% in 2025。All these show that China’s foreign investment environment is constantly improving.，U.S. companies are increasingly confident in the further opening of the Chinese market。
62% of the companies surveyed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce stated that，China’s policy formulation and communication process has become increasingly transparent in the past five years.。
China's opening door is opening wider and wider，Industrial policy treats all enterprises equally, Xing Houyuan said，China's industrial policy、regional policy、innovation policy、Fiscal and taxation policies and employment policies, etc.，Provide equal treatment to foreign-funded and domestic-funded enterprises，Especially on platforms open to the outside world such as pilot free trade zones and national economic and technological development zones.，Foreign investment continues to gather，Deeper integration of China's economy into the world economic system，Create a more attractive investment market。
Gao Lingyun said，Economic globalization is what the world is facing today、The irreversible trend of the times。In the past, China’s economic development was achieved under conditions of openness，In the future, China’s economy must achieve high-quality development under more open conditions.。China's door is opening wider and wider，It is a strategic choice made by China based on its development needs.，It is also taking practical actions to promote economic globalization and benefit people all over the world.。
“It can be seen from the experience of developed countries that，Industrial policy is an important tool to promote economic development。However, the formulation and implementation of industrial policy，It does not mean that the government should replace the role of the market。in fact，China’s industrial policy is on the right path。Gao Lingyun said，On the one hand, China is exploring better ways for the government to manage the economy.，To eliminate unfair competition and make up for market defects to the greatest extent。
For example, the Financial Stability and Development Committee of the State Council will be established in 2025.，Prevent market operations from causing serious consequences of financial instability through macroeconomic management；The State Administration for Market Regulation will be newly established this year，Unified management of food and drug safety and market order, etc.，Prevent bad behaviors in market operations from microeconomic activities。
on the other hand，China further deepens administrative streamlining and decentralization、Combining management and control、Optimize service reform，Strive to create a more equitable、open、competitive market environment。 “China’s industrial policy measures are generally applicable to domestic and foreign-funded enterprises.，Treat companies from all countries equally，Treat all businesses equally。Gao Lingyun said，Treat all market entities equally，is to build a fairer、open、The core connotation of competitive market environment。
The market is supported by various market entities，These entities include both state-owned enterprises，Also includes domestically owned private enterprises and small, medium and micro enterprises，Also includes various types of foreign-funded enterprises，They are all indispensable components of the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics。The operation of the market must be achieved through fair competition，monopoly、Improper control, etc.，must be eliminated，"In the final analysis，This is determined by China’s market-oriented reforms.。”
