China Remains Top Choice for Foreign Investors, Says Foreign Ministry

BEIJING, April 2 – China continues to be a prime destination for foreign investors, driven by its expanding market potential, stable policy outlook, and strong development climate, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Guo emphasized China’s commitment to advancing high-level reforms and deepening its openness to the world. He noted that foreign investors remain confident in China due to the country’s robust economic momentum and growing consumer market.

“China has maintained a strong recovery in the first two months of the year, with its vast consumer base and emerging high-quality productive forces enhancing its market appeal,” Guo said.

He pointed to the government’s recent initiatives, including the introduction of 20 new measures aimed at stabilizing foreign investment and a government work report that outlines further stimulus policies. “China continues to ease entry requirements for foreign investment and is fostering a favorable environment that allows global partners to share in the opportunities presented by its massive market,” Guo added.

Currently, foreign investment in China spans 20 major sectors across 115 industries. Guo revealed that approximately 1.24 million foreign-invested enterprises have been established in China, representing a total investment of around USD 3 trillion.

In recent weeks, senior executives from multinational corporations participated in high-level forums hosted by China, including the China Development Forum and the Boao Forum for Asia. These gatherings facilitated direct dialogues and in-depth discussions between foreign business leaders and their Chinese counterparts.
