China seeks to attract more foreign investment

China's manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) foaled for sixth month in a row, according to official data released on 31 October 2019. The ongoing contraction illustrates a worsening business climate, despite Beijing's efforts to spark economic growth. Media reports state that the October PMI was below expectations at 49.3 points from September at 49.8 and the lowest since hitting the 49.2 in February 2019. EPA-EFE/ALEX PLAVEVSKI

China’s cabinet issued guidelines on Thursday aimed at attracting more foreign investors, including plans to encourage investment in its hi-tech industries.

China will step up opening-up in areas including financial and auto sectors, and would “neither explicitly nor implicitly” force foreign investors and companies to transfer technologies, the state council said in a statement on its website.

The measures were unveiled in a news briefing last week announced by China’s vice commerce minister.
