New Rules For Foreign Advertising Companies
Foreign advertising companies are now allowed to offer design,
production, publication and other types of advertising services for
Chinese and foreign clients, state media reports. However, a regulatory
approval is necessary. Joint ventures between Chinese and foreign ad
companies can now be approved as long as all investors are working in
the advertising industry for at least two years. The setting up of a WFOE
requires three years of work experience.
