Dezan Shira & Associates : An Introduction to Doing Business in China 2022
China continues to be an attractive and reliable investment destination despite multiple external headwinds like the ongoing pandemic and geopolitical tensions. In 2020, China overtook the US to become the world’s largest foreign direct investment (FDI) recipient and the country expects FDI to rise 10.8 percent year-on-year to RMB 1 trillion (US$160 billion) in 2021. Indicative of business optimism, 41,600 foreign-invested enterprises were newly established in the first three quarters of 2021.
Under these circumstances, it is increasingly important for foreign investors to get familiar with the changes in China’s business landscape, identify areas of risk in advance, and take steps to prepare for new market opportunities. This is the only way investors can stay nimble in an otherwise challenging time.
