Professor Zhang Qinyu introduced that the formulation of the Law of the People's Republic of China fully reflects the principle of equality between domestic and foreign capital. The Pre-establishment national treatment and negative lists for foreign investment before admission are conducive to creating a fair and good competitive market environment for domestic and foreign enterprises. It is a manifestation of the continuous improvement and development of China's legal system for foreign investment.

At the end of the lecture, Professor Ivan Cardillo summarized and thanked Professor Zhang Qinyu for sharing her academic achievements.

This lecture promoted academic exchanges between our university and the teachers and students of the University of Trento in Italy, deepening cooperation between the two institutions.
