01 Maintained source set
Separate jurisdiction and control questions
Start with the transaction facts, then open the current official source.
Destination-country investment screening, merger control, sector approvals and China-side outbound-investment authority are separate workstreams. A clearance or filing conclusion in one jurisdiction does not answer another jurisdiction’s question.
Source routes checked 21 August 2026. Rules, thresholds, lists, procedures and guidance can change.
