we are very pleased to receive your fax in which you propose to invest in china to produce Vitamin C.
the low cost and vast market in china actually prompted this decision of my firm.
what type of investment do you have in mind ?
i am not so sure.
can you tell me what form a foreign investment may take?
do you plan to establish a joint venture or a venture solely owned by you ?
i think a joint venture would better suit our needs !!
according to china 's definition, joint venture takes two form: equity joint venture and contractual joint venture.
what do they mean respectively ?
roughly speaking , in the case of an equity joint venture,,....while with a contractual joint venture....,
each of the two sides will invest a certain portion of the capital and share profits or losses in proportion to their respective contributions.
the profits or losses are not determined by their contributions but are agreed upon by the two sides and written into the contract explicitly.
i have one worry!!
with china 's entry into the WTO .the national treatment principle will apply to foreign investors.
does that mean all the preferential policies foreign investors used to enjoy will be abolished ?
you have made a very good point in bringing up the question of national treatment.
the recently revised joint venture law has taken it into consideration.
according to the old law. a certain portion of the joint venture products must be exported.and the venture 's procurement must be made locally , but such restrctions are all lifted under the new law.
what is more, the various preferential policies,such as taxation policies,remain unchanged.so i would say the new law provides an even more encouraging environment to foreign investors .
don't you agree ?
i am happy to know this, are they any regulations on the foreign proportion of investment ?
25% minimum, but there isn's an upper limit.
not necessarily.
the chinese capital contribution will include use of land ,existing work ,shops and the use of water ,electricity and so on.
there is also a question about the composition of the board of directors.
in proportion to
the level of crime in an area is almost always in direct proportion to the number of unemployed.

you have made a very good point in ..
i didn't get the point of that joke.
we haven't got any money for the fare.
