Regarding the viewpoint that foreign investment in China has declined in recent years, spokesperson Mao Ning of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on the 13th that from a data perspective, China is still a highland for cross-border investment, and "bullish" and "bullish" views on China are still the consensus among many foreign companies. China has always fulfilled its commitment to high-level opening-up and welcomes enterprises from all countries to invest in and deeply cultivate China. At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: We have noticed that since the beginning of this year, a batch of major foreign investment projects have landed in China one after another, with a planned investment amount of up to 33 billion US dollars. Some comments suggest that foreign companies are taking practical actions to increase their investment in the Chinese market. But there are also opinions that the data shows a decline in foreign investment in China in recent years, indicating a trend of "foreign capital withdrawing from China". What is the spokesperson's comment on this? I would like to share with you several sets of latest data released by authoritative departments: as of the end of last year, foreign investors had invested and established nearly 1.24 million enterprises in China, with actual use of foreign investment of 20.6 trillion yuan. Last year, China established nearly 60000 foreign-invested enterprises, a year-on-year increase of 9.9%. In the past five years, the return on foreign direct investment in China has been about 9%, ranking among the top in the world Mao Ning said that from a data perspective, China is still a highland for cross-border investment, and "bullish" and "bullish" views on China are still the consensus among many foreign companies. Mao Ning said that last month, China issued 20 measures to stabilize foreign investment, proposing new measures to orderly expand independent opening up and improve investment promotion level. This year's government work report clearly proposes to "encourage foreign investors to expand reinvestment", "effectively guarantee national treatment for foreign-funded enterprises in terms of factor acquisition, qualification licensing, standard setting, government procurement, etc.", and "enable foreign-funded enterprises to develop better". Walking with China is walking with opportunities Mao Ning said that no matter how the external environment changes, China has always fulfilled its commitment to high-level opening up to the outside world, and always welcomes enterprises from all countries to invest in China, deeply cultivate China, share dividends, and develop together.
