Officials: China set to pull in more FDI

Vast market, solid supply chain and supportive policies impress MNCs

China's vast market size and complete supply chain, combined with a series of policies focused on stabilizing the economy and enhancing openness, will further brighten conditions for attracting foreign investment, said government officials and heads of multinational corporations on Friday.

Foreign direct investment in China reached 215.09 billion yuan ($29.75 billion) in the first two months of this year, dropping almost 20 percent year-on-year.

In the same period, the number of newly established foreign-invested enterprises in China reached 7,160, up nearly 35 percent year-on-year, data from the Ministry of Commerce showed.
