Overseas individuals or legal persons (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) invest and set up enterprises in the Mainland, all of which are foreign-invested enterprises. Even a joint venture with a foreigner is a foreign-funded enterprise, usually called a Sino-foreign joint venture. When Hong Kong people were established separately, they were called wholly foreign-owned enterprises, but all of them were foreign-invested enterprises, referred to as foreign-funded enterprises for short, but they all belonged to the mainland legal person status.
