Executive Summary
Since the economic reform and open-up in late 1978, China has experienced nearly over two decades of high economic growth, which has been stimulated by the consecutive increase of industrial output, consumption and capital investment. During the period, the national economy has been developed continuously, high-speed, and healthy. China' s GDP has been growing at 11% per annum. National industry output has been advancing at 10.3% annually and will continue to sustain a strong growth into the next century. Though the deflation has existed in these two years, the national economy has continued to grow with a sound speed. The fastgrowing middle class is creating an enormous consumer society. As the fastest-growing economy in the world, the emerging market has attracted the attention of investors and corporations around the world for the last two decades.
To deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises is a long-term task and needs great effort. The reform of state-owned economy has witnessed rapid changes in both economic and social aspects. The introduction of foreign advanced technology and capitals will continue to be favored by the Chinese government and business community. New ways will be adopted to utilize foreign investment, including mergers, acquisition, and investment funds and securities investment. China will continue to improve its investment environment in the areas of legal system, intellectual property protection, foreign trade and investment regulation, infrastructure and financial system. China is the second largest foreign investment recipient after the United States in the world. Given its vast market, the country provides tremendous opportunities for investment and trade both for the present and future.
