The main changes are as follows: First, encourage and guide foreign investment in advanced manufacturing industries. The national catalog has added or expanded entries related to terminal products, components, raw materials and other fields, to improve the development level of the industrial and supply chains. Second, encourage and guide foreign investment in modern service industries. The national catalog has added or expanded entries related to business services, technology services, scientific research, and service consumption, to promote the high-quality development of the service industry. Third, encourage and guide foreign investment in the central and western regions, the Northeast, and Hainan Province. In line with the local resource endowments, characteristic advantages, and industrial development, expand the scope of encouragement in the regional catalog.
