OBS_VALUE: As of January 2020, the Foregin Investment Law requires that foreign-invested enterprises participate in government procurement activities through fair competition in accordance with the law. Government procurement shall be treated equally in accordance with the law for products and services provided by foreign-invested enterprises in China.This lifts an earlier requirement under Article 10 of the Government Procurement Law that stipulates that “The government shall procure domestic goods, construction and services, except in one of the following situations:(1) where the goods, construction or services needed are not available within the territory of the People's Republic of China or, though available, cannot be acquired on reasonable commercial terms;(2) where the items to be procured are for use abroad; and(3) where otherwise provided for by other laws and administrative regulations.”
