Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress on Sunday were urged to discuss at length and approve the country's draft on the Foreign Investment Law.

The proposed national legislation is expected to replace existing laws on foreign enterprises - and aims to boost confidence and the protection of international businessmen.

It hopes to ban forced technology transfers undertaken by Beijing officials - and it is expected to be tabled to the Congress next week.

Xin Chunying, deputy secretary-general of the Congress's Standing Committee, reportedly told Hong Kong deputies that the law is important and should be passed.

Ma Fung-Kwok, the spokesman of the SAR's delegation, said after meeting Xin that she had told them she hoped all the NPC deputies would focus their attention on it and come up with some good questions.
