According to the news from the Ministry of Commerce on April 7th, on April 6th, Ling Ji, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative of International Trade Negotiations, presided over a roundtable meeting for US-funded enterprises. Representatives from more than 20 US-funded enterprises, including Tesla, GE Healthcare, and Medtronic, participated in the meeting.
Ling Ji stated that the Ministry of Commerce will, as always, provide guarantees for foreign-funded enterprises in China, including US-funded enterprises, protect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign-funded enterprises in accordance with the law, and actively promote the resolution of the problems and demands of foreign-funded enterprises. China has been, is, and will surely be an ideal, safe, and promising investment land for foreign investors.
According to the news from the Ministry of Commerce on April 6th, local time on April 4th, the "Invest in China" promotion event in the UK was successfully held in London. The Chinese side stated that currently, China is unswervingly promoting high-level opening up to the outside world, maintaining stable economic growth, continuously improving its innovation capabilities, and accelerating the development of new productive forces. British investors are welcome to continuously expand investment cooperation with China in areas such as the digital economy, green and low-carbon industries, and financial services. The participating British enterprises, business associations, and chambers of commerce all expressed their continued optimism about the Chinese market and their willingness to further expand investment cooperation with China to promote the healthy and stable development of two-way investment between China and the UK.
"China has a stable economic environment and abundant human resources, a large-scale middle-income group, and new consumption business forms that continuously release potential. It has a complete industrial chain foundation and an active innovation ecosystem, which can provide supporting foundations and relatively high returns for foreign investment in setting up factories in China, thus forming a strong attraction for foreign investment," Liu Xiangdong, Deputy Director of the Economic Research Department of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, told a reporter from the Securities Daily.
It is understood that the Ministry of Commerce is also preparing to go to key and emerging sources of foreign investment such as the United States, South Korea, Singapore, and the Middle East to carry out a series of themed activities under the "Invest in China" initiative.
Chen Jianwei, a professor at the National Institute of Opening-up of the University of International Business and Economics, said in an interview with a reporter from the Securities Daily that as a stable anchor and safe haven in the global economy, China, with its economic resilience and opening-up policies, provides unique investment advantages for foreign investment. Firstly, in the context of increasing global uncertainties, the Chinese economy still maintains stable growth. Its huge market scale and industrial foundation provide a safe and reliable investment environment for foreign-funded enterprises. Secondly, the Chinese government is firmly promoting high-level opening up to the outside world. By optimizing policies and expanding market access, it has created more cooperation opportunities for investors from various countries in areas such as the digital economy and green and low-carbon industries. Finally, the rapid development of China's innovation capabilities and new productive forces not only enhances its economic competitiveness but also brings new opportunities for technology-driven investment to foreign investors.
What else needs to be done to continue expanding high-level opening up and attracting foreign investment? Chen Jianwei believes that China needs to create a more strategically attractive investment ecosystem through reform and innovation. Firstly, it should further relax market access in areas such as the service industry and the financial industry, provide a broader investment stage for foreign investment, and release new impetus for economic growth. Secondly, it should strengthen the construction of the intellectual property protection mechanism and use legal means to enhance the investment security and long-term confidence of foreign-funded enterprises. Finally, actively participate in global economic governance, promote the construction of an open world economy, create a stable and predictable investment environment for foreign investment, and consolidate China's status as a global investment hotspot.
