Ministry of Commerce: In the first 8 months, EU investment in China increased by 123.7%, indicating that foreign capital continues to be optimistic about China
On the afternoon of September 22, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference, and a reporter asked: On September 21, China EU Chamber of Commerce released the "EU Enterprise Recommendation 2022/2023", believing that China's attractiveness to foreign capital has declined, but at the same time it also stated that European companies still hope to grasp the Chinese market. What is the Ministry of Commerce’s comment on this?
Shu Jueting, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, said in response to this that he had noticed the relevant report. Shu Jueting pointed out: At present, the world economy is facing multiple challenges, unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise, and the global open consensus has weakened. China has always supported economic globalization, unswervingly promoted high-level opening up, accelerated the construction of a new development pattern, and provided more market opportunities, investment opportunities and growth opportunities for enterprises in various countries.

Shu Jueting said, "From January to August this year, China actually used foreign capital of US$138.4 billion, an increase of 20.2%; among them, EU investment in China increased by 123.7% (including investment data through free port ). This fully demonstrates that foreign investors, including the EU, continue to be optimistic about the Chinese market and hope to continue to deepen investment cooperation with China."
Shu Jueting further stated, "We have also noticed that the proposal is proposed, Hope I hope the EU will continue to actively interact with China and oppose economic decoupling. We believe that China and Europe are important economic and trade partners, and should insist on promoting pragmatic cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win results. It is in the interests of both enterprises and people of both sides to maintain close ties and benign interactions with the EU. China is willing to continue to strengthen economic and trade policy communication with the EU, maintain the security and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain, promote the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, support the real multilateralism , and jointly make positive contributions to the global economic recovery.
