-

Beijing (TDI): China witnessed a significant rise in new foreign companies over the first eight months of 2024, with 36,968 new companies established—an increase of 11.5% compared to the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

However, the total foreign direct investment (FDI) into the Chinese mainland experienced a significant drop.

The actual FDI inflow amounted to 580.2 billion yuan (approximately $81.7 billion), marking a decline of 31.5% year-on-year.
