China welcomes businesses from across the world, including the U.S. companies, to seize opportunities arising from China's high-quality development and share in the development dividends of its supersize market, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday.
Guo Jiakun, the spokesman, made the statement at a press conference in Beijing in response to a media question on investment in China, citing a recent survey by the American Chamber of Commerce in China (AmCham China), which indicated that the proportion of U.S. companies in China who are optimistic of the growth in China's market is on the rise.
The survey report shows that more than half of the respondents expect to be profitable or very profitable in 2025. Over 70 percent report no plans to relocate operations, and nearly 60 percent plan to increase investment in China.
Guo emphasized that the survey highlights China's extra-large market as a global opportunity.
"China's mega-size market offers enormous opportunities to the world, and investing in China means staying ahead of the curve and becoming profitable. The success of American companies in China demonstrates that China and the U.S. benefit from cooperation and a steady, sound and sustainable relationship is in the interest of both sides," Guo said.
"This year marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). China's economy is gathering momentum and growth drivers are on the upgrade. China will remain a source of stability, growth and innovation for the world economy. We welcome U.S. and other foreign companies to seize the opportunities of China's high-quality development and greatly benefit from China's multi-trillion-yuan market," he said.
