Non-Chinese business must operate with a Chinese partner to do business in the mainland.

I see this repeated a lot on Hacker News, but it's no* longer true. Search WFOE (wholly foreign-owned enterprises).

*Fixed a typo - thanks to below comment.

I think you mean, by the context of the comment, that is no longer true, maybe is not an ortographical skip and I am mistaken on this one

Just to clarify, is not a misundertanding, usually in english if someone says " is longer true" it means it is true for a long time, but in the context of the comment, I guess what you want to say is that what many people repeat is no true for a long time, usually what you would write in this case is

" Its no longer true"

Or " Its long not true"

But no misunderstanding, just a grammatical litle note, the meaning of your comment is simple to see by the context, so just a little note

It was never true. Some industries required JVs, some still do, some never did.
