Global investors express faith in China


BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): China remains capable of attracting global investment this year despite the temporary impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, as it is largely a regional and short-term event, executives of global companies and experts said on Monday (Feb 17).

Their comments came after the Ministry of Commerce announced on Monday that foreign direct investment from nonfinancial sectors into the Chinese mainland grew 4 per cent year-on-year to 87.57 billion yuan (US$12.68 billion) in January.
