As of 2013, China's overseas investment has reached a record high of one hundred billion US dollars.
However, the report reveals that the country's 18-thousand foreign enterprises in China that year represent a decrease of almost 11 percent compared to 2012.
Some people worry China's investment environment is not as good as it was.
But Song Qun, a former official from NDRC academic committee, says that with the "new normal", foreign investment to China will also enter a new normal stage.
中国海外投资排名全球第三
"The relative size of the manufacturing industry will gradually decline while the share of companies in the service sector2 will rise. This is the general trend for China's industrial transformation3 and upgrading. Foreign investment serves China's economic development. Some low end foreign manufacturing should be transferred to other places, due to cost increases in both market and labor4. This is the same as when western countries shifted their manufacturing business here to China."
Stimulated5 by the new normal, China's huge market potential will bring enormous business opportunities to foreign enterprises.
"Currently the biggest attraction here in China is the market potential. According to the estimation of the US Chamber7 of Commerce, a middle-class consumer market with a population of over 500-million will take shape in China by 2020. This will supply tremendous opportunities for foreign industries, such as machinery8 manufacturing, medical equipment, health care, and the pharmaceutical9 industry."
According to the report, China's direct investment goes to 184 countries and regions worldwide, covering about 80 percent of the globe.
At the same time, the merger-and-acquisition fields are becoming more and more diversified10.
However, challenges are increasing for the country's export-oriented enterprises.
The rising cost of labor and the fluctuation11 of the RMB exchange rate have led to a reduction in long-term orders.
Wei Jianguo suggests that both the government and national enterprises should join efforts to tackle the issue.
"I am very sad to see that our companies only try to lower prices to keep them individually competitive, instead of solving problems with other companies in the same industry. Meanwhile, China should continue try to keep the title of 'world factory'. If not, millions in the workforce12 will be affected13. So the government needs to support exports through effective policies."
On Tuesday, China's top economic planner said it would increase efforts to manage effective investment this year, in a bid to help stabilize14 economic growth.
The NDRC also vowed15 to streamline16 its approval procedures and improve supervision17 and transparency.
