For compliant investors: yes — with the rules understood. China has 110+ tax treaties, apostille membership, 21 free-trade zones, a 29-item-only negative list and profit-repatriation machinery that works when registered properly. The risks are regulatory complexity and data rules, not expropriation.
The honest risk map: (1) contract enforceability — works through Chinese courts/CIETAC arbitration when your contract is Chinese-governed and stamped; (2) capital mobility — inflows and dividends flow through registered channels; unregistered structures jam; (3) data regulation — PIPL/DSL/Article-37 make data mapping a pre-investment step, not an afterthought; (4) geopolitical spillover — sector-specific (export controls, sanctions overlap), screen your supply chain both directions; (5) partner risk — JVs need governance design, not trust. Mitigation is procedural: registered structure, documented substance, clean books, local licensed advisors. That is exactly what a one-stop delivery model sells.
