The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee pointed out that we must steadily expand institutional opening-up, further relax market access, and ensure that foreign-invested enterprises enjoy national treatment in terms of factor acquisition, qualification licensing, standard setting, government procurement, and other aspects.

"Can the government also purchase Tesla cars?" Recently, an announcement on the Jiangsu government procurement website set a precedent in the country, and Tesla China became a "new face" in the government car procurement catalog. Foreign companies are not "strange" when purchasing official cars, which also makes foreign companies more confident in deepening their presence in the Chinese market.

One procurement catalogue, domestic and foreign capital are treated equally

"The fairness, justice and inclusiveness of the Chinese market have given us great confidence in our development!" Five years ago, as the country's first wholly foreign-owned car manufacturer, the establishment of Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory was a vivid footnote to the full opening up of my country's general manufacturing sector. Five years later, Tesla cars were included in the procurement catalog of the Jiangsu Provincial Government and Shanghai Lingang State-owned Enterprises, which further demonstrated that the Chinese government treats domestic and foreign capital equally.

Tesla once again firmly chooses China for a super energy storage factory

It only took one month from negotiation to signing! At present, the construction of Tesla's Shanghai Energy Storage Super Factory is in full swing. Behind this major investment project is the constantly upgraded "service capability" of Shanghai Lingang. In the five years since the establishment of Lingang New Area, 48 national first-of-its-kind institutional innovation cases have been formed. In the past three years, the actual foreign investment has increased by an average of 45.3% per year. Foreign companies such as Tesla have cast their "votes of confidence" with real money.

With a set of "addition and subtraction", China's opening up to the outside world will never stop

Institutional innovation is "addition" and foreign investment access is "subtraction". Since 2013, China's free trade zones have increased from 1 to 22, and more than 300 institutional innovation achievements have been promoted nationwide. The national version of the negative list for foreign investment access that came out of the free trade zones has also been "slimmed down" year after year, from 93 items to 31 items. From the signing of 22 free trade agreements such as RCEP to the steady expansion of institutional opening, China's door to opening up will only open wider and wider!
