A: For example, "Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries (Revised in 2004)", Part 2 Catalogue of Restricted Foreign Investment Industries, II. Mining and Quarrying Industries, 1. Mining and mining of minerals such as wolfram, tin, antimony, molybdenum, barite, fluorite (equity joint ventures or contractual joint ventures only) . 1) The Catalogue should be regarded as a guideline that the government direct foreign investment in China, but there is no specific said on shares of equity held by the Chinese and foreign investors to joint venture. As usual, the foreign-invested projects should be approved and definitely required by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and its local affiliates. If those projects are involved in mining or exploration, it is necessary for them to obtain licenses issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources. 2) CEInet, one of the largest information service agencies in China, provides foreign investors with consulting and agent services on China's administrative procedures for invested-project approval. Q: Could you please tell me what standards your statistics are collected? For example in Europe use NACE. A: CEInet statistical databases are in light of GB/T 4754 — 2002. It is a uniform statistical classification that the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China newly revised in 2002. The new classification has more comparability to ISIC3, but there are still larger differences between China's and ISIC recommended by UN, given China's real economic development.
The NBS is further strengthening the relation of correspondence and conversion between the Chinese Industrial Classification and ISIC. The exchanges of data become more frequently than before, more and more the comparability of data. For more information, please visit http://www1.cei.gov.cn/ce/cedb/index.htm
If need a subscription to CEInet statistics, please offer us a list of statistical series you request. CEInet will do customized service for your subscription if available and accessible. Q: Some of foreign companies need formal official invoices ahead of the payments of subscription to CE information products. A: Before the payments of subscription arrive at CEInet banking account, CEInet is permitted only to deliver a Proforma Invoice to those organizations/companies for the CEInet subscription. According to China's financial practice and rules, CEInet is unable to offer a standard official invoice until your payment is confirmed to arrive at CEInet's account in the Bank. It is because in terms of international practice that the banks either intermediary or paying will deduct a certain commission from the remittance. The amount we received at last is not equal to the original one. CEInet financial department has to wait for a notification from the bank to verify the real value of your payment transferred into our RMB account. It is necessary to do these steps before CEInet issues the standard official invoice for your subscription. Home┃Order Information┃Contact us ┃About us |
