BEIJING, March 6 (Xinhua) -- China will further expand opening-up in the agriculture, mining, manufacturing and service sectors, and allow wholly foreign funded enterprises to operate in more sectors, a senior official of the country's top economic planner said Wednesday.
The government will further shorten the negative list which outlines fields off-limits to foreign investors, Ning Jizhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, told a press conference on the sidelines of the annual legislative session.
A new list outlining industries that encourage foreign investment will be released this year, Ning said.
