Recently, the data released by the Ministry of Commerce showed that in the first seven months of this year, the actual amount of foreign capital used in the country was 798.33 billion yuan, an increase of 17.3%year -on -year. The actual use of foreign investment to present three characteristics: First, the actual use of foreign investment in the high -tech industry has grown rapidly, an increase of 32.1%year -on -year; the second is that the investment in China in major developed countries has a faster growth in China. Among them The year -on -year increases were 44.5%, 36.3%, 26.9%, and 23.5%. Third, the gradient growth trends in the use of foreign investment in the east and the west of the east, that is, the actual use of foreign capital in the eastern, central and western regions increased by 15.2%, 30%, and 41.2%year -on -year.

It can be seen from the use of foreign investment in the first seven months of this year that foreign companies attach great importance to investing in the Chinese market and confident in the sustainable growth of the Chinese economy. With the increasing investment of domestic high -tech investment in domestic enterprises and foreign companies, the structural adjustment of China's economy has accelerated, and innovation -driven is becoming an active force for economic growth. With the transfer of the industry, the industrial system in the central and western regions is accelerating, which is conducive to China's construction of integrated industrial chain, supply chain and innovative chain system, while gradually eliminating the industrial development gap between the eastern, central and western regions.

The continuous increase in investment in China is mainly due to four reasons:

First, as the world's second largest economy, the largest industrial country, and the largest cargo trading country, China has a complete industrial system and a large -scale market advantage. This is the basic condition of foreign capital optimistic about the Chinese market; second, China is highly stable in China The good expectations of the political and social environment, the high -quality economic development, and the international competitive business environment provides stable and good investment expectations for foreign investment; third, China's huge and complete industrial system, high -quality labor, The high attention to scientific and technological innovation and continuous improvement of scientific and technological innovation strength have provided a good investment fertile soil for foreign companies engaged in high -tech industries; fourth, China is the key node of the international economic cycle and the initiative of the "Belt and Road" initiative. The regional international market and global international market played an increasingly important role, which provided foreign -invested companies that provide a strategic fulcrum based on China and radiate global.

At present, due to the impact of the century's epidemic, geopolitical conflict, and the influence of the United States, such as the comprehensive suppression of China, the Chinese economy is facing the decline in demand, impact on supply and weakening, and the economic downward pressure is still large. However, the fundamentals of China's economy are good, and the trend will not change for a long time. Therefore, while coordinating the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia and economic growth, we must do a good job of stabilizing employment, stable finance, stabilizing foreign trade, stabilizing foreign capital, stable investment, and stable "six stability" to ensure the sustainable economic and healthy growth of economic health.
