Generally speaking, it refers to representative offices, offices and other institutions established for overseas companies. Non-foreign-related buildings can't be leased to the offices set up by overseas institutions in China. Whether it is a foreign-related building or not shall be subject to the approval of the foreign economic relations and trade commission of the government.
