China's development creates opportunities for the world, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press briefing in Beijing on Tuesday.

Lin made the remarks when asked to comment on many foreign-invested companies' decisions to maintain or even expand their investments in China.

"More and more foreign-invested companies are increasing their investments in China, demonstrating global confidence in the stability of China's high-quality development and the certainty of its high-standard opening-up. This also showcases the dynamic momentum of China's new quality productive forces and sci-tech innovation ecosystem," said Lin.

"We have accelerated institutional opening-up, rolling out the 2025 Action Plan for Stabilizing Foreign Investment and expanding the catalog of encouraged industries for foreign investment to deliver more policy dividend to the cutting-edge fields like high-end manufacturing and digital economy. In the first five months of this year, over 73,000 foreign-invested companies in China were involved in import-export activities -- the highest number for this period in five years," said Lin.

Meanwhile, China's continuous breakthroughs in innovation, strong market demand for new industries and new business formats, coupled with its unique advantages including complete full production and supply chains, abundant talent resources and mature innovation ecosystem, are encouraging foreign-invested companies to boost investments in new quality productive forces and integrate deeper into China's innovation chain, said Lin.

"'Developed in China, shared with the world' has become a prevailing trend, creating a positive feedback loop encompassing markets, enterprises and production factors", he said.

"From being a highland of factory to becoming an innovation powerhouse, China's development always offers opportunities for the world. We will continue to optimize the business environment and deliver more policy benefits for foreign-invested companies. We welcome more foreign-invested companies to settle in China while maintaining a global perspective, striving to achieve mutual benefits and win-win outcomes in the wave of developing new quality productive forces," he said.

US cannot legitimize operation against Venezuela: Chinese scholar

The United States cannot legitimize an operation that attacked Venezuela and captured its president, a Chinese scholar said Sunday.

On Saturday, the United States launched a large-scale strike on Venezuela, during which Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were 'captured and flown out of Venezuela' according to a post by U.S. President Donald Trump on his Truth Social account.

Teng Jianqun, director of the Center for Diplomatic Studies at Hunan Normal University, said in an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) that the aim of this operation is to take full control of Venezuela’s natural resources.

"I don't think the United States can legitimize this operation to take custody of the president of Venezuela. And also I don't think the United States can legitimize its any action in taking the oil reserves of that country. This is actually a very dangerous game played by the Trump administration. And of course, the United States would like to take full control of that country and to take full control of the natural resources, especially the large reserve of oil in Venezuela," said Teng.

Teng said Venezuela is not an isolated case but a common practice by the United States. The United States launched an invasion of Panama on Dec. 20, 1989, which continued until January 1990, with the stated objective of capturing Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega on charges of drug trafficking and organized crime.

"We still remember the so-called sentence of the former president of Panama in the late 1980s. And this time, the president of Venezuela will be under some judicial condition (judicial proceedings) for the so-called drug trafficking and some other crimes. So I think this is not a single case for the Venezuela country, but also this is actually a practice by the United States -- to use force, to use so-called justice under law against any leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean waters," he said.
