Since the beginning of this year, multinational companies have continuously accelerated their layout in China. Recently, many foreign-funded enterprises have announced increased investment and expansion in China, demonstrating their trust in the country with concrete actions.
Not long ago, this German-funded enterprise announced an investment of 500 million yuan to expand its factory in Shanghai, contributing to the development of China's new energy vehicles.
The high-quality development of China's economy, as well as the acceleration of new productive forces, are providing strong momentum for foreign enterprises to develop in China. In Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, a foreign-funded enterprise’s newly built new energy battery project has officially begun mass production and delivery. Over the past six years, they have established 19 new bases in China.
The 'magnetic pull' of the Chinese market for foreign investment is also continuously increasing. A U.S.-funded enterprise that entered China through the first China International Import Expo has now established a strong presence in the country, and this year will exhibit for the eighth time, expanding their exhibition area from the initial 9 square meters to 300 square meters.
Data shows that from January to March, 12,603 new foreign-invested enterprises were established nationwide, an increase of 4.3% year-on-year. In March, China's actual foreign direct investment increased by 13.2% compared to the same period last year.
A survey report from the China-Japan Chamber of Commerce shows that more than half of the surveyed enterprises plan to 'increase' or 'maintain' their investments in China by 2025.
Survey reports from the China-Britain Chamber of Commerce and the China-Germany Chamber of Commerce show that 76% of British-funded enterprises in China plan to maintain or increase their investments, and more than half of German-funded enterprises will increase their investments in the next two years.
