China has experienced over two decades of high economic growth,
which has been stimulated by the consecutive increases of industrial
output, consumer consumption and capital investment. China's GDP has
been growing at 11% per annum. National industrial output has been
advancing at 10.3% annually and will continue to sustain a strong
growth into the next decade. The fast-growing middle class is creating
an enormous consumer society. As the fastest-growing economy in the

ways will be adopted to utilize foreign investment, including mergers,
acquisition, and investment funds and securities investment. China
will continue to improve its investment environment in the areas of
legal system, intellectual property protection, foreign trade and
investment regulation, infrastructure and financial system. China is
the second largest foreign investment recipient after the United
States in the world today. Given its vast market, the country provides
tremendous opportunities for investment and trade both for the present
and future.
