The head of Mizuho Securities (China) Co., Ltd. has successfully obtained a business license from the Chaoyang District Administration for Market Regulation in Beijing, marking the official launch of this financial institution—which has a registered capital of RMB 2.3 billion. As the second newly established wholly foreign-owned securities company in Beijing, Mizuho Securities plays a significant role in promoting healthy competition in Beijing's financial sector and enhancing its capacity to provide international services.

In recent years, market regulatory authorities in Beijing have continuously optimized the business environment for foreign investors—pioneering the fully online establishment process nationwide for foreign-invested enterprises and offering one-stop services for their setup. By streamlining identity verification for visa-exempt entrants and expanding the regional scope of mutual recognition of qualification documents for foreign investors, the authorities have reduced administrative burdens on foreign-funded enterprises. The authorities have also expanded access to multilingual services by releasing a bilingual (Chinese–English) edition of the Guide for Registering a Foreign-Invested Enterprise, along with a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs), to provide clear and accessible guidance for overseas investors. Additionally, they have launched a bilingual (Chinese–English) website and WeChat mini-program for the Beijing Enterprise Services Platform ("E Chuang Tong"), optimizing page layouts and navigation to help overseas investors complete their filings efficiently and accurately.

Going forward, market regulation authorities will continue to build on and consolidate their experience in serving foreign-related businesses, deepen service-oriented innovation, and inject fresh impetus into the capital's high-level opening-up and high-quality economic development.
