China has been, is, and will undoubtedly remain an ideal, safe, and promising destination for foreign investment.
Against the backdrop of a global economic environment fraught with uncertainties, China, with its firm policy support, continuously optimized business environment, and a stable and secure social atmosphere, provides foreign-funded enterprises with precious stable expectations, and will long remain a fertile ground for foreign-funded enterprises to invest and start businesses.
In today's world, the most scarce resource is the market. With a population of more than 1.4 billion, a middle-income group exceeding 400 million, over 180 million private business entities, and a national unified large market being accelerated in its construction, China is the world's largest and most promising market with huge potential for consumption upgrading, offering a "golden track" for foreign investment to seize the initiative. During the Spring Festival in 2025, the sales of key retail and catering enterprises across China increased by 4.1% year-on-year, and the number of domestic tourist trips increased by 5.9% year-on-year. Consumption hotspots such as movies, ice and snow activities, cultural and tourism, and trade-in programs all thrived. Not long ago, the "Special Action Plan for Boosting Consumption" was issued, deploying 30 key tasks in 8 aspects, which will effectively drive the stable growth of consumption, promote the optimization and upgrading of the economic structure, and achieve high-quality development. Hamid Moghadam, the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Prologis, regards the growing demand of Chinese consumers as a "tremendous development opportunity" and believes that "the prosperity of the Chinese market directly drives the continuous growth of our business."
Innovation is the core engine of China's high-quality economic development, providing strong impetus for foreign-funded enterprises to deeply cultivate the Chinese market. China is committed to high-quality development, accelerating the transformation towards green, digital, and intelligent development, and has strong industrial supporting capabilities, making it the best application scenario for the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. From achieving the goal of "carbon neutrality" at the Annual Conference of the Boao Forum for Asia in 2025 to the display of heavy-duty coaxial-rotor unmanned helicopters and photonic quantum computers at the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference, China's innovative achievements keep emerging. "China has become an important gathering place for global innovation." "China's emphasis on driving high-quality development through innovation helps to cultivate new consumption formats and models." "China strives to be a pioneer in innovation and has achieved remarkable results in cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing."... International figures and enterprise representatives have given positive comments on China's development momentum. More and more multinational corporations are laying out innovation chains in China, setting up research and development centers and innovation factories, and achieving win-win results through the deep integration of technology, talents, and the market.
Against the backdrop of insufficient momentum for the recovery of the world economy and increased uncertainties, foreign-funded enterprises firmly choose to move forward with opportunities, believing in China and investing in China. FedEx Express of the United States is building an intercontinental transfer center in Shanghai; Siemens laid the foundation for a new high-end medical equipment research, development, and manufacturing base in Shenzhen; AstraZeneca announced an investment of $2.5 billion to establish its sixth global strategic research and development center in Beijing... Multinational enterprises have cast a "vote of confidence" in the development prospects of the Chinese economy with practical actions. The "2025 China Business Environment Survey Report" released by the American Chamber of Commerce in China shows that nearly 70% of the surveyed enterprises in the U.S. consumer industry expect to increase their investment in China in 2025. The report of the German Chamber of Commerce in China shows that 92% of the surveyed enterprises plan to continue operating in China, and more than half of the enterprises plan to increase their investment in the next two years. Data from China's Ministry of Commerce shows that in January this year, the investment from the UK, South Korea, and the Netherlands in China increased by 324%, 104%, and 76% respectively. The Chinese market has great potential, strong resilience, and sufficient vitality. The widespread consensus in the international community is still to be bullish on the Chinese market.
China has been, is, and will undoubtedly remain an ideal, safe, and promising destination for foreign investment. Upholding the spirit of openness and cooperation, adhering to high-quality development, and steadily promoting high-level opening-up to the outside world, China will, together with enterprises from various countries, cultivate a fertile ground for win-win cooperation and reap the fruits full of hope.
