This harnessing of foreign investment has resulted in tremendous success for China, including making up for the funds shortage for economic construction, promoting corporate technological progress and management expertise, easing employment pressure, increasing fiscal revenue and boosting trade. At the same time, there have been problems, including questions of economic security, environment and energy issues, unequal competition and problems with the management of foreign-invested enterprises. To promote the development of foreign-invested enterprises in both a healthy and rapid fashion, China should look toward "maintaining policy continuity, promoting the forward-looking nature of policy, strengthening policy guidance and highlighting policy innovativeness."展开更多

We point out that the economic development of China is now standing at a historic turning point. Specifically, economic changes in China are discassed from four dimensions: (i) from China being a world assembly line to a world manufacturing powerhouse; (ii) from China being a world capital receiver to a world investor; (iii) from China being a world factory to a world market; and (iv) from the situation of "made in China" to "innovated in China." At the same time, the global economic system has also reached a turning point. A "North America-Europe-Asia " tri-polar system has formed, in which the USA, Germany and China, respectively, serve as the regional core economies.展开更多
