On August 26th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the relevant information of the 25th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT). According to Ling Ji, Deputy Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative for International Trade Negotiations, this year's Investment Fair is themed "Joining Hands with China to Invest in the Future" and focuses on three major sectors: "Investment in China", "Chinese Investment", and "International Investment". It will be held in Xiamen, Fujian Province from September 8th to 11th. The current global economic momentum is insufficient, various trade and investment barriers are increasing, and cross-border investment is clearly slowing down. In this context, nearly a hundred executives from multinational companies and heads of international investment institutions actively participated in this year's investment fair in China, indicating that China still has enormous potential for attracting investment. ”Ling Ji said that the comprehensive advantages formed by China's super large market, complete and efficient production and supply chain, as well as the rich application scenarios of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, deeply interpret that "investing in China is investing in the future". Regarding the considerations and measures taken by the Ministry of Commerce in building the "Invest in China" brand and attracting foreign investment, Ling Ji stated that China's efforts to create a market-oriented, rule of law, and international business environment have provided long-term stability and certainty for foreign investment. One is to firmly expand opening up to the outside world. Last year, China launched pilot projects to expand opening-up in areas such as value-added telecommunications, biotechnology, and wholly-owned hospitals in some regions. Currently, a number of projects have been implemented and positive progress has been made in the pilot projects. Next, we will actively and prudently expand the pilot program, continue to promote the opening up of relevant fields, and effectively implement national treatment for foreign-funded enterprises. We will also focus on solving the specific problem of "opening the big door but not opening the small door" in market access, so that foreign-funded enterprises can "both enter and operate". The second is to enhance the empowerment of open platforms. Thoroughly implement the strategy of upgrading the pilot free trade zone, accelerate the comprehensive pilot work of expanding the opening up of the service industry, and give priority to piloting new opening measures on open platforms. At the same time, implement the reform and innovation policies of national level economic development zones, and improve the level of outward oriented economic development in national level economic development zones. The third is to strengthen service guarantee. The Ministry of Commerce now holds a roundtable meeting for foreign-funded enterprises every month, and this month a roundtable meeting for foreign-funded enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region was held in Guangzhou. Since last year, the Ministry of Commerce has organized and held 40 roundtable meetings, promoting the resolution of more than 1500 difficulties and demands of foreign-funded enterprises. Next, we will continue to organize roundtable meetings and carry out special visits for "Service Guarantee for Foreign Enterprises". In large-scale equipment updates, trade in of consumer goods, government procurement, bidding and other activities, we adhere to equal treatment and support domestic and foreign enterprises to participate in competition, providing a more fair competitive environment for foreign-funded enterprises.
