China has been one of the largest recipient countries of foreign direct investment for years. Nevertheless, public service sectors have remained relatively closed until very recently. Under the planned economy system in the past, investments in public sectors such as infrastructure and utilities were dependent upon central and local level governments. However, many public sector services have been plagued by mal-administration, lack of transparency, and overall inefficiency. In considering these problems, in conjunction with the desire to develop China's poorer countryside and western regions, the government has begun recently to stress the importance of private sector involvement in the delivery of public services.
