The Provisions stipulated that the foreign enterprise should submit application to Ministry of Commerce, if they want to get control of inbound enterprises through acquisition which may threaten economic security of China. Besides, foreign enterprises have to face inspection by Ministry of Commerce, if their specific market share grow to 25% as a result of the acquisition. The latter one is to prevent monopoly.
