At the China national level, several legislative and administrative documentations, including the Regulations on the Foreign Investment Law Implementation and the Opinions on Further Stabilizing Foreign Trade and Stabilizing Foreign Investment, stipulate that foreign investment should be encouraged and promoted; the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investment should be protected; and the threshold for foreign-invested R&D centers to enjoy preferential policies should be lowered. Overall, the foreign investment should be encouraged to invest in China to set up R&D centers.

At the Beijing municipal level, there was and absence of specified documentations addressing the establishment and development of foreign-funded R&D centers. Moreover, the boundaries for the identification of foreign-invested R&D centers were relatively blurred. Noting that, Beijing has formulated a special policy to attract foreign investment R&D centers to set up development in Beijing to serve the development of foreign investors in Beijing and promote more open, inclusive, mutually beneficial and shared international scientific and technological cooperation.

在中国国家层面，《中华人民共和国外商投资法实施条例》和《关于进一步做好稳外贸稳外资工作的意见》等文件都明确指出，鼓励和促进外商投资，保护外商投资合法权益，降低外资研发中心享受优惠政策门槛，鼓励外商来华投资设立研发中心。

在北京市层面，之前尚无针对外资研发中心设立和发展的专门文件，对于外资研发中心的认定界限也相对模糊。为此，北京市出台制订吸引外资研发中心在京设立发展专门政策，服务外商在京发展，促进更加开放包容、互惠共享的国际科技合作。
