Executive Summary
China has experienced over two decades of high economic growth, which has been
stimulated by the consecutive increases of industrial output, consumer
consumption and capital investment. China' s GDP has been growing at 9.8% per
annum. National industry output has been advancing at 15% annually and will
continue to sustain a strong growth into the next decade. The fast-growing
middle class is creating an enormous consumer society. As the fastest-growing
economy in the world, the emerging market has attracted the attention of
investors and corporations around the world for the last two decades.
To deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises is a long-term task and needs
great efforts. The reform of state-owned economy has witnessed rapid changes
in both economic and social aspects. The introduction of foreign advanced
technology and capitals will continue to be favored by the Chinese government
and business community. New ways will be adopted to utilize foreign
investment, including mergers, acquisition, and investment funds and
securities investment. China will continue to improve its investment
environment in the areas of legal system, intellectual property protection,
foreign trade and investment regulation, infrastructure and financial system.
China is the second largest foreign investment recipient after the United
States in the world today. Given its vast market, the country provides
tremendous opportunities for investment and trade both for the present and
future.
