Beijing Is Desperate for Foreign Money
After years of making heavy demands on foreign investors and business interests, Beijing has awakened to its need for them and so is changing its tune. People walk on The Bund promenade along the Huangpu River during the passage of Typhoon Co-May in Shanghai, China, on July 30, 2025. People walk on The Bund promenade along the Huangpu River during the passage of Typhoon Co-May in Shanghai, China, on July 30, 2025. Hector Retamal/ AFP via Getty Images Commentary Beijing has learned one thing during the past couple of years, even before President Donald Trump's election: China's economy urgently needs foreign investment money and foreign business interests. For years, it seemed, Beijing acted as if it had all the advantages. Assuming, not incorrectly, that the foreign interests would tolerate a great deal to gain access to Chinese consumers, businesses, and Chinese markets generally, Beijing made stiff demands, among foreigners, imposing layers of red tape on U.S., European, and Japanese companies, refusing to actively enforce patent and copyright infringements, and demanding that every foreign company operating in China have a Chinese partner to which it had to disclose its technological and trade secrets. Story continues below advertisement Trump's primary complaints against China in 2018–19 highlighted such practices. The Chinese regime did not change then, but as foreign money has begun to look elsewhere, the authorities in Beijing have changed their tune. In June, it added tax incentives of up to 10 percent for foreign operations that reinvest their profits in China. This change has become all too evident in the past few weeks. During this rather compressed period, Beijing has announced steps to protect foreign copyrights and patents. Then just last month, seven key agencies in Beijing—including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the People's Bank of China—jointly issued what they called a ' Notice on Implementing Several Measures to Encourage Reinvestment by Foreign-Invested Enterprises.' Each of the 'several measures' sounds extremely friendly to foreign investment and overseas-based businesses. The new rules now require local governments throughout China to track and support foreign investment and expand the definition of what qualifies for such considerations. These new rules try to reduce the cost of foreign developments by granting easier access to industrial land, leasing, lease-to-own arrangements, and adjustable-term land transfers. Story continues below advertisement Regulators have been ordered to simplify and expedite approvals for projects as well as those that qualify for the previously announced tax breaks and do so for a wide range of earnings, including gains from foreign exchange transactions. Beijing's new friendliness surely comes in response to the shortfall of foreign investment over the past couple of years. In part because of the Chinese regime's past abusive behavior, but also official hostility to China trade in Washington, the European Union, and Japan, foreign businesses have begun to look away from China. In 2023, China suffered a net outflow of foreign capital . In the first half of 2025, foreign investment was 15.2 percent below 2024's reduced level. Strong investment upticks have occurred in e-commerce services, pharmaceuticals, aerospace equipment, and the manufacture of medical devices, but not enough to offset the general decline. The economic drag from these shortfalls has been undeniable, not only in China's export volumes but also more generally. Beijing has estimated that over the long haul, foreign investment enterprises, as they are called, have contributed between 20 and 30 percent of China's gross domestic product, or GDP. Doubtless, recent major concessions will draw some positive response from business in the United States, Europe, Japan, and elsewhere. It is unlikely, however, that foreign business or investment in China will return to what it was when the country was the primary destination for foreign investors. Story continues below advertisement For one, businesspeople the world over have memories of past abuses and are aware that Beijing's friendly approach today could easily change back should circumstances allow. They are also aware that a robust response to today's inducements will raise their exposure to China and make them that much more vulnerable should Beijing change its mind. Business managers have also become aware in recent years that there are opportunities elsewhere in Asia and Latin America that are, by comparison, more secure than in China. They will no doubt respond with caution. Views expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

How Cas ruling might impact rest of Palace's transfer window
Crystal Palace will be counting the cost of their failed Cas appeal in seeking to overturn the club's demotion to the Conference League. From a purely sporting perspective, there is far less prestige in playing in the Conference League compared with the Europa League - the competition Palace believed they had qualified for having won last season's FA Cup. The counter argument is that Palace will stand a better chance of winning the Conference League. That may be the case, but that is not really the issue here. Palace feel this is a huge miscarriage of justice, irrespective of their chances of winning a European trophy next season seemingly improved. You also have to wonder how the decision may impact their plans between now and the close of the transfer window. It is estimated that their European demotion could cost the Eagles in the region of £20m, a relatively large amount given the size of the club. That may well now play a factor in attempting to sign their preferred targets and their leveraging power as they try to prevent key players from leaving. Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze are among those courting interest from the Premier League's top sides. Guehi, who has less than a year left on his contract, is likely to be sold, with Liverpool among his suitors, while Eze has interest from Arsenal and Tottenham.

How does Marinakis avoid multi-club ownership troubles?
Uefa regulations around multi-club ownership and European competitions are in place to prevent collusion. In the governing body's rulebook, a club is required to prove they are not "simultaneously involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration, and/or sporting performance of more than one club participating in a Uefa club competition". Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, who also controls Greek side Olympiakos, avoided regulations around multi-club ownership by diluting his control of the Premier League side, which was announced in April. John Textor took similar steps to help Crystal Palace's prospects of playing in the Europa League by agreeing to sell his stake to New York Jets owner Johnson in June. Ultimately, there were no sanctions to avoid and no case to answer for Forest - they fell short in their Champions League challenge and are therefore not in the same competition as Olympiakos.
