Yang noted that CCPIT will also carry out in-depth survey on the business environment for foreign investment to get to know the current development and expectations of foreign-funded enterprises in China, propose policy recommendations and help build a market-oriented, law-based and world-class business environment.
It is noteworthy that at the national level, more deployments will be made to attract and utilize foreign investment. A recently-convened State Council executive meeting pointed out to enhance foreign investment service guarantee from market access expansion, fair competition environment optimization and smooth flow of elements of innovation, in a bid to cement foreign investors' confidence in China and improve the quality and level of trade and investment cooperation.
The Ministry of Commerce also said recently that it will continue to promote the implementation of the 24 pro-foreign investment measures, give full play to the role of the roundtable meeting for foreign-funded enterprises, and continue to optimize the business environment to make China remain a cross-border investment hot spot.
