China is intensively sending a message that it remains committed to opening up no matter how the external environment may evolve. According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, three wholly foreign-owned hospitals have been approved as part of a pilot program launched last year to expand access in health care, telecommunications, and biotechnology sectors. In the same program, 13 foreign companies have gained approval to provide telecom services, and more than 40 foreign-funded biotech projects have been launched.
