In this article, he points out that the complexities of national security review demand Chinese investment regulatory authorities to establish a more complete and effective regulatory system; and it is of great importance to identify foreign investors within the framework of this regulatory system, not only because it can be helpful to clarify the notification obligation for foreign investors but also accelerate the review process of foreign investment security by national security review authority; the draft foreign investment law establishes for the first time the identification system for foreign investors; compared with the identification systems for foreign investors in German, Japanese and U.S. investment laws and regulations, the draft foreign investment law still needs to be developed and improved.
