Five construction sectors now open to private investment

China has opened five construction sectors to private capital, according to the country's top economic planner - The National Development and Reform Commission.

These sectors include construction of transportation and IT infrastructure, clean energy projects, gas storage equipment as well as coal chemical and the petrochemical industries. This means that private investment can now participate in projects like the construction of subway line 16 in Beijing, or the line 6 in Shenzhen, as well as some railway transportation or natural gas pipeline projects.
