Chinese authorities are to allow overseas investors to fully own e-commerce companies in a pilot scheme in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
Local telecommunication authorities in Shanghai will be tasked to take charge of the pilot scheme and regulate and supervise foreign investors.
No further details of the scheme have been revealed.
The entry of foreign investors to the Shanghai FTZ is expected to trigger a gradual opening to overseas capital in China's lucrative e-commerce business.
