Answer Before answering your question, I would like to introduce the normal Chinese Foreign Investment Form. 1. Sino-foreign joint ventures(Joint venture, JV); 2. Cooperative businesses(Contract venture, CV); 3. Exclusively foreign-owned enterprises(Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise, WFOE); 4. Representative Office of Foreign Company (RO); 5.Joint exploitation; 6.Foreign-funded share-holding companies; 7. New types of foreign investment.
