Abstract
The promotion of the negative list management model represents an innovative trend of the host state to further relax investment access as well as foreign investment control in order to promote transnational foreign direct investment flow. Since the relatively strict investment control system has existed for a long time, the negative list model is undoubtedly a major institutional and management innovation of opening-up. In the future, the negative list management model would be gradually adopted and promoted by contracting states with the conclusion of regional investment agreements, and become the representative achievement of high-level regional and even international investment rules. The involvement would also gradually transit from developed economies to developing economies. Negative list would become a necessary part in the formation and negotiation of international economic and trade rules in the future, and promotion of negative list will also become an important trend in the development of international investment rules.
