Foreign investment projects are classified in four categories: encouraged, permitted, restricted, and prohibited. In general, projects in the encouraged category (those that the authorities are interested in promoting) are those that use improved technology and are less polluting, while restricted projects are those deemed to employ outdated technologies, over exploit scarce natural resources, or harm the environment. The prohibited category includes projects that are considered as polluting the environment, destroying natural resources or damaging social and public interests. Projects that do not fall into these three groups are "permitted".

China has always been an active participant and has played constructive role in the Trade and Environment negotiation under WTO framework. In January 2014, China joined the initiative on environment goods negotiation with other 13 WTO Members in Davos, Switzerland, with a view to further discussion on reduction of tariffs of environment goods. China believes that trade and environment negotiation should aim to realize triple-win among trade, environment and development, and contribute to the multilateral trading system.

These programmes, in place since 2009, and which the authorities consider to be important measures to improve people's livelihood and stimulate consumption, were scheduled to be terminated by 31 January 2013, but were rolled over for another year, until 31 January 2014, when they were concluded.
