Foreign firms confident in Chinese market

Despite decoupling rhetoric, prospects for high-quality investment remain high

With China firmly committed to opening-up and continuing to expand market access while improving the business climate and services for foreign investors, more and more foreign firms will feel that investing in China is investing in the future, according to government officials and business executives.

Commerce Minister Wang Wentao on Sunday reiterated that China is devoted to building a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment, and will keep expanding market access for foreign investors while promoting institutional opening-up.

"As China's door opens wider and its business climate and services for foreign investors continue to improve, more and more foreign-funded enterprises will come to China and take root," Wang said at a subforum of the China Development Forum 2023, which kicked off on Saturday and ends Monday.
