TOKYO - Japan is considering lowering the 10% ownership threshold at which foreigners are required to report stakes in domestic companies, two officials said, as Tokyo looks to better monitor Chinese investment in areas related to security.
“We need to strengthen monitoring for national security but we don’t want to hinder foreign direct investment itself,” said one of the officials, both of whom declined to be identified because the talks have not been made public. “The United States and Germany have taken similar measures aimed at China. Japan is much further behind when it comes to protecting the security of its economy,” the second official said.
