China will continue to facilitate foreign investment and
enhance the protection of intellectual property rights in
efforts to improve the investment environment, a senior official
said.
"Improving investment environment and protecting the
legal rights of foreign investors are not only the government's
promises but also what the government is doing," Yu Jianhua,
assistant minister of commerce, told reporters at a press
conference.
The country is now revising the Catalogue for the Guidance
of Foreign Investment Industries, aiming to encourage foreign
investment in sectors such as advanced manufacturing, high-tech
industries, new energy and environmental protection, Yu said.
According to the ministry statistics, the country's foreign
direct investment rose by 18.4 percent year-on-year to 60.89
billion U.S. dollars in the first half of this year.
