MOFCOM vice minister and deputy chief trade negotiator Ling Ji said at a State
Council press briefing on June 22 that although foreign capital has both entered
and exited China in recent years, overall inflows have exceeded outflows. He
said China remains the largest developing-country recipient of foreign countries
investment and a major global cross-border investment destination. Actual
utilized FDI has fluctuated over the past three years, but annual net additions
have stayed above $100bn. In the first five months of this year inward
investment composition improved and incremental inflows remained stable,
indicating continued resilience in China’s ability to attract foreign capital.
