China will allow foreign firms not engaged in the investment business to conduct equity investment in domestic companies, the latest in a series of efforts to open up the nation’s financial markets and draw in foreign capital.

Such measures are being taken to further facilitate cross-border investment and trade, according to a statement on the central government website.
