Foreign investors remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of the Chinese market as the country has introduced a series of measures to improve the investment environment and create new opportunities, said a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

China's State Council issued a statement in 2023 outlining its guidelines for further optimizing the foreign investment environment and intensifying efforts to attract foreign investments. The guidelines comprise 24 policies outlining 59 measures, all designed to enhance the investment climate.

"According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the total profits of foreign-funded industrial enterprises above designated size grew by 9.9 percent in the January-July period this year. During the same period, nearly 32,000 new foreign-funded enterprises were established in China, an increase of 11.4 percent year on year. This continues the trend of rapid growth in newly established foreign-funded enterprises since 2023, indicating that foreign investors remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of investing in China," said spokesman He Yongqian at a regular press conference in Beijing.

As of the end of July this year, 27 of the 59 measures have been completed. These include the introduction of regulations to promote and regulate cross-border data flow, the launch of pilot programs to further open up value-added telecommunications services to foreign investors, the establishment of a coordination mechanism for intellectual property protection in the centralized procurement of pharmaceutical products, and the continuous optimization of visa and immigration policies.
