  Many foreign companies said they had begun planning high-level group visits to China, which could help restart projects and locate new investment opportunities.

  According to data from the ministry of commerce, China's foreign direct investment (FDI) surged 6.2 percent on a year-on-year basis to 999.98 billion yuan ($147.65 billion) in 2020. The growth rate reached 14.9 percent to a record high of 1.15 trillion yuan in 2021. In the first 11 months of 2022, China's FDI exceeded the level for the whole of 2021, with a year-on-year increase of 9.9 percent, showing that the Chinese market always attracts foreign capital.

  Foreign investors are also attracted by China's irreplaceable industrial chain advantages.

  Zeiss Group, a leading enterprise in the fields of optics and optoelectronics, on October 18, 2022 started construction of a new research and development (R&D) and production base in Suzhou, in east China's Jiangsu province. Xie Lei, the COO of Carl Zeiss (Shanghai), said the supporting advantages of the local mature industrial chain were one of the main reasons for Zeiss' investment.Basically, 80 percent of the suppliers within 200 kilometres could become good partners with the company, Xie said.

  Moreover, the first plant of the BASF (Guangdong) integrated base project was officially put into operation, the large-scale upgrade project of the BMW Brilliance production base officially opened in Shenyang, in northeast China's Liaoning province, and Panasonic Group transferred more business segments such as cold chain equipment production and sales to China.

The new version of the catalogue has a total of 1 474 entries, a net increase of 239 entries and 167 revisions compared with the 2020 edition, the largest number of additions in recent years. This will provide more space for foreign capital to develop in China and bring more generous returns.
