June 22 — MOFCOM vice minister Ling Ji said the ministry’s three priorities to
stabilise foreign investment are: secure existing stock, expand new inflows and
raise quality. As of end‑2025, foreign‑invested enterprises in China numbered
533,000, a 4.5% average annual rise since end‑2020, and FDI stock was near $4.0
trillion, up 3.6% annualised over five years. Ling said preliminary data show
more than 8,000 foreign firms increased investment in China in 2025 (>10% YoY)
and nearly 4,000 firms made additional investments in the first five months of
this year.
