China drops 50% foreign ownership cap in telecoms pilots

Beijing has removed the 50 percent foreign ownership limit in its telecoms pilot zones. The change allows international companies to establish operations in approved areas.

The policy shift aims to attract new investment while addressing restrictions imposed by the United States on carriers. International firms can now participate directly in the designated Chinese zones without the previous ownership restriction. Officials presented the move as a response to external pressures on the sector.
