The Trade in Services Chapter consists of general disciplines governing trade in services between Singapore and China. The committed sectors are subject to market access, national treatment and domestic regulation disciplines.

In sectors where market access commitments are undertaken, the Party cannot impose additional market access restrictions for these sectors, both quantitative and qualitative. These include:
(a) limitations on the number of service suppliers;
(b) limitations on the total value of service transactions or assets;
(c) limitations on the total number of service operations;
(d) limitations on the total number of natural persons that may be employed in a particular service sector ;
(e) measures which restrict or require specific types of legal entity or joint venture through which a service supplier may supply a service; and
(f) limitations on the participation of foreign capital in terms of maximum percentage limit on foreign shareholding or the total value of individual or aggregate foreign investment.

Under national treatment, each Party shall accord to services and service suppliers of the other Party treatment no less favourable than that it accords to its own like services and service suppliers as listed in the schedule of commitments.

Each Party shall ensure that all measures of general application affecting trade in services are administered in a reasonable, objective and impartial manner.
