Editor's note: Over the past three decades, huge amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI) have flown into China, helping make the nation the second largest foreign direct investment destination.

Premier Wen Jiabao has confirmed many times that China always welcomes foreign enterprises, and provides them with treatment equal to that of domestic companies, and the nation is always willing to receive feedback from them.

Legally registered foreign enterprises are considered part of Chinese enterprises, and encouraged to participate in mergers and acquisitions of State-owned enterprises. In addition, the government also boosts foreign firms here by supporting companies listed in the Chinese mainland to rope in foreign strategic investors and broaden foreign companies' funding channels.

Experts and foreign firms in China said that China's investment environment is improving and the nation's business climate is more transparent and open than many westerners believe.
