Abstract:	Due to the liberalization of the WTO multilateral agreement, China cannot limit itself to the reform of abolishing or amending some rules or articles directly related to the WTO Investment Agreement. China should also reform its legislative methods concerning foreign investment such as the market access, national treatment and transparency. The WTO Investment Agreement is a product of the interest coordination between the North and the South. As a developing country, China’s foreign investment legislation wouldn’t accept rapidly and all-side liberalization and break away from its national conditions and the economy level. It still has time an space to carry out the reforms on foreign investment with liberalized characteristics.
