The significant increase of large scale land allocations in recent years has led to numerous land conflicts. In fact, the Foreign Investment Law remains quite vague on the activities restricted to foreign investment, stating for example that “agricultural or livestock breeding business requiring a small amount of investment capital” are closed to foreign investment, without specifying the amount of capital. Similarly, activities “detrimental to traditional ethnic cultures and customs” are closed to foreign investment which leaves significant discretion to the MIC to decide if a specific activity may be detrimental. In fact, the law even allows the MIC to allow foreign investment that may have adverse cultural impacts if it considers such investment is in the national interest.
