The scale of China's two-way investment continued to expand in 2025, said Yan Dong, Vice Minister of Commerce, at a press conference on China's commerce work and performance in 2025 in Beijing on Tuesday.
"Two-way investment continued to expand. In attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), we stepped up efforts to attract and utilize foreign capital, expand voluntary opening up of services sector orderly and continue to enhance the investing China brand. Throughout the year, over 70,000 new foreign-funded enterprises were established in China, up by 19.1 percent. In 2025, actual use of FDI in the Chinese mainland totaled 747.69 billion yuan (about 107.2 billion U.S. dollars), of which 32.3 percent flowed into high-tech industry," he said.
"As for outbound investment, we advanced international cooperation on industrial and supply chains, facilitated integration of trade and investment, deepened economic and trade cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and improved the comprehensive service system for overseas investments. Throughout 2025, China's total outbound direct investment (ODI) in non-financial sectors grew by 1.6 percent to 1 trillion yuan (about 143.4 billion U.S. dollars), and newly signed contract value for foreign contracted projects reached 2.1 trillion yuan (about 301.1 billion U.S. dollars), up by 8.5 percent," he said.

China has always been a reliable friend to Latin American and Caribbean countries and stands ready to work with regional countries, including Brazil, to further deepen and expand overall China-Latin America cooperation, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during the fifth China-Brazil Foreign Ministerial-Level Comprehensive Strategic Dialogue with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira in Beijing.
Wang said that in recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, China-Brazil relations have become increasingly global, strategic and far-reaching in influence.
"Practical cooperation across all fields has been steadily upgraded, and the two peoples have never been closer," he added.
Wang said the two sides should fully implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, continue to advance the building of a China-Brazil community with a shared future, jointly counter various external challenges, and build greater synergy for each other's modernization drives and the unity and self-improvement of Global South countries.
Noting that China appreciates the Brazilian government's long-standing commitment to the one-China principle, Wang said China supports Brazil in safeguarding its national sovereignty, upholding independence and autonomy, and achieving greater development.
The two sides should advance exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, tourism, sports, sub-national areas, youth, media and other fields, Wang said, adding that it is important to strengthen communication and coordination under multilateral mechanisms including the United Nations and BRICS, earnestly implement the four major global initiatives, and promote the development of a more just and equitable global governance system.
