Foreign investment welcome

A recent anti-monopoly campaign launched by the Chinese government has raised concerns about whether protectionism will rise in China.

However, President Xi Jinping highlighted at the just-concluded Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference that China's policy on the use of foreign investment, its protection of the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors, and its efforts to offer better services to foreign enterprises will not change, and this should dispel such misgivings.

Developed countries suffered a decline in their inward Foreign Direct Investment in 2014, but China still witnessed a moderate 3 percent growth. The number of newly established foreign-funded ventures in China amounted to 23,778, increasing by 4.4 percent. All these figures are the best indication that foreign capital continues to flow into China.
