Global Times: Why does China still need foreign investment?

BEIJING, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — “I’ve noticed that a new action plan to stabilize foreign investment has been introduced this year. After more than 40 years of reform and opening-up, China’s domestic market entities have grown strong. Why do we still need foreign investment?” This is a question that a reader of people.cn posted.

This reader’s question is representative. The answer can be found in three sets of data.

First, as of now, foreign investors have established a cumulative total of 1.24 million enterprises in China, with investments nearing $3 trillion. Foreign-funded enterprises have long been an integral part of China’s high-quality development, contributing one-quarter of industrial added value, one-seventh of tax revenue, and creating over 30 million jobs, making significant contributions to China’s economic growth.

Second, foreign investment in China spans 20 industry categories and 115 major industry sectors. In the manufacturing sector, all 31 major categories and 548 subcategories have attracted foreign investment.

China is the only country with all industrial categories listed by the United Nations, and foreign investment has played a pivotal role. Over the past decade, investment in research and development by foreign-funded industrial enterprises above a designated scale in China has grown by 86.4 percent, and the number of effective invention patents has surged by 336 percent. The advanced technologies and management expertise brought by foreign enterprises have positively influenced the development of Chinese companies and talent cultivation, providing substantial support for building a modern industrial system.

Third, foreign-funded enterprises contribute to one-third of China’s imports and exports. The negative list for foreign investment access has been reduced from an initial 190 items to the current national version of 29 items and the free trade zone version of 27 items, with the manufacturing sector achieving a “zero” negative list.

In accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, foreign investment serves as a bridge connecting domestic and international dual circulation. On one hand, it promotes factor-flow-based openness, driving the cross-border flow of technology, products, and services through supply chains, enabling China to deeply engage in global industrial division and cooperation. On the other hand, it supports institutional openness, advancing institutional reforms in economic, technological, ecological, and other areas.

“All of this shows that foreign businesses are important participants in the Chinese modernization drive, in the country’s reform and opening up and innovation, and in its interconnectivity with the world and integration into economic globalization.”

In fact, the question “Why does China still need foreign investment?” is not new.

In 1979, China enacted a law on Chinese-foreign equity joint ventures, opening the door to foreign investment. At that time, some argued that introducing foreign capital would hinder the development of domestic industries.

Over the past 40 years, a consensus has emerged: Reform and opening-up have enabled China to rapidly integrate into the global market and keep pace with the times, with the active utilization of foreign investment being a key factor.

Opening door wider 

In recent years, global unilateralism and protectionism have intensified, with foreign investment in China increasingly disrupted by geopolitical factors. Some have claimed that “China does not welcome foreign investment.”

“Humankind is a community with a shared future.” “Openness brings progress while closing the door can only leave one behind.” China’s commitment to reform and opening-up remains unwavering, its doors of openness will only widen, and its policy of welcoming foreign investment has not changed and will not change.

China’s pace of opening up to the world has never slowed.

The action plan to stabilize foreign investment in 2025 further proposes 20 policy initiatives building upon the existing 24 measures for attracting foreign capital. 

Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Commerce has held an “Invest in China” policy briefing in Japan and organized related events in Sweden and the UK, significantly boosting the willingness of relevant countries to invest and cooperate with China.

In early 2025, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade dispatched 107 delegations to visit 33 countries and regions, visiting corporate headquarters such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Bosch.

How sincere is China’s commitment to opening-up? Foreign enterprises have the most say—At the China Development Forum 2025, 86 official representatives from multinational corporations from 21 countries and regions participated. According to the 2025 China Business Climate Survey Report released by the American Chamber of Commerce in China, nearly 70 percent of surveyed US consumer firms plan to increase their investments in China this year.

From January to March 2025, China established 12,603 new foreign-invested enterprises, a year-on-year increase of 4.3 percent, according to the Ministry of Commerce. Actual foreign investment in e-commerce services, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, aerospace and equipment manufacturing, and medical equipment and instrument manufacturing grew by 100.5 percent, 63.8 percent, 42.5 percent, and 12.4 percent, respectively. By region, actual investment from ASEAN rose by 56.2 percent, and from the EU increased by 11.7 percent.

Wang Peng, associate research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times that the data reflected the firm confidence and sustained commitment of foreign companies to the Chinese market.

China’s economy is on a sustained upward trajectory, with a vast and expanding market, providing foreign investors with broad market opportunities and reliable returns. Moreover, the Chinese government has implemented a series of proactive measures to attract foreign capital, continuously optimizing the business environment and providing policy support, offering robust guarantees for foreign investors, Wang said.

“Partnering with China will bring more opportunities. No matter how the external environment may evolve, China remains firmly committed to high-standard opening up and always welcomes companies from all countries to keep investing in China and explore the Chinese market to enjoy benefits and development together,” Mao Ning, spokesperson from China’s Foreign Ministry, told a press conference on March 13, 2025.

High Profile Cyberattacks Continue to Spur Rapid Adoption of Payment Tokenization Solutions to US$1 Billion Market

LONDON, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Payment tokenization continues to reign supreme in the payments space thanks to its ability to minimize potential points of failure and blunt the impact of failed card authorizations. New forms of payment tokenization are emerging, solidifying its position as an essential piece to the digital transaction’s security puzzle. ABI Research, a global technology intelligence firm, forecasts Token Service Provider (TSP) revenue to break the US$1 billion mark by 2031 as heightened data protection concerns, security fears propelled by cyberattacks on critical institutions (notably the Colonial Pipeline incident in 2021, attacks on UK NHS hospitals, and concerns regarding the recent Spain and Portugal blackout), and new PCI-DSS 4.0 requirements spark increased demand for digital security solutions such as tokenization in the payments markets.

“Maximizing compliance with data protection and legislative data sovereignty requirements while meeting the ever-growing demand for enhanced efficiency within digital transactions is a precarious balancing act within the payments segment, calling for new and innovative technologies to rise to the challenge. Payment Tokenization has proved a viable solution thus far which has evolved to keep pace with the needs of regulation, security, and technological innovation, demonstrated by the arrival of new forms of tokenization and integration of complementary technologies, including biometrics, with tokenization to bolster its security promises, explains Aisling Dawson,” Industry Analyst at ABI Research.

Headlining trends in payment tokenization including vaultless tokenization, web-based push provisioning, wearables tokens, and the integration of passkey capabilities instead of 3D Secure processes in desktop environments are expected to stir up further adoption of tokenization solutions and services across the payments ecosystem over the next five to ten years.

While North America is expected to continue to lead the pack, Europe’s formidable regulatory regime pertaining to data protection and digital payments, rapid digitalization in Latin America, and the head start enjoyed by the Asia-Pacific region on tokenized funds and bonds prime the payment tokenization market for growth on a global scale.

Although payment tokenization boasts a strong growth trajectory over the next ten years, whetting Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and merchant’s appetite for tokenized payment options will require heavy lifting on both the education and awareness-raising fronts. “Building a strong business case for payment tokenization requires a concrete demonstration of how tokenization solutions alleviate PSPs adherence to relevant regulatory and compliance requirements as well as how the migratory process can be eased for merchants who are reluctant to risk downtime or drops in transaction volumes. Payment Tokenization is well-placed for success, but its utility should be considered holistically across the payments ecosystem if TSPs are to truly optimize their prospects of strong revenue generation in this market,” Dawson concludes.

These findings are from ABI Research’s New Forms of Payment Tokenization report. This report is part of the company’s Digital Payment Technologies research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.

Pioneering a New Era: BestPrice Travel Drives the Evolution of Halong Bay Cruises to Meet World-Class Standards

LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Celebrating 15 years in Vietnam’s tourism industry, BestPrice Travel has become a leading name in Halong Bay cruises, known for delivering unforgettable experiences. But what has allowed the company to thrive for over a decade in a highly competitive market?

For international tourists, Halong Bay has long been a dream destination in Southeast Asia. Recognizing this early on, BestPrice Travel, founded in 2010, took the lead in introducing the Halong Bay cruise experience to the global market.

However, it wasn’t all that made BestPrice Travel a pioneer. From the very beginning, the company worked closely with cruise operators and local partners to raise service standards and enhance the overall guest experience. These early efforts not only set BestPrice Travel apart from its competitors but also played a key role in positioning Vietnam as a premier cruise destination.

BestPrice Travel leads the way in bringing Halong Bay cruises to the world.
BestPrice Travel leads the way in bringing Halong Bay cruises to the world.

Raising the Bar on Quality Control

BestPrice Travel has implemented a meticulous quality control system to ensure every vessel meets high expectations. Ships are evaluated on a set of criteria, including cabin space, onboard amenities, service quality, gastronomy, and design. This transparency not only helps travelers choose the right cruise but also incentivizes operators to keep improving.

A prime example is Grand Pioneers, which sets a new benchmark for sustainable luxury cruising in Halong Bay. With standout features—like a saltwater infinity pool, sky bar, wine and cigar lounge, 3D golf simulator, poker lounge, kids’ club, and premium suites up to 150m²—it embodies BestPrice Travel’s gold standard for cruise excellence.

To uphold its high standards, BestPrice Travel conducts monthly inspections of partner cruises and collects feedback from international guests to provide operators with real-time insights. This continuous feedback loop has motivated many cruise lines, especially in the luxury segment, to invest in ongoing upgrades and enhancements.

A Wide Range of Curated Choices

One of BestPrice Travel’s greatest strengths is the wide variety it offers. With a portfolio of over 90 Halong Bay cruises, travelers can easily find options tailored to their preferences. Whether you’re seeking a three-star day trip or a five-star overnight voyage, BestPrice makes it simple to compare and choose the perfect fit.

Guests can also select from intimate boutique cruises ideal for couples or small groups, to larger ships perfect for families and group celebrations—explore the full range at https://www.bestpricetravel.com/en-us/halong-bay-cruises.

For those who appreciate a traditional style, Peony Cruise is a charming choice. Travelers seeking luxury, privacy, and exceptional service will find Hermes Cruise an excellent option. Meanwhile, those interested in a next-generation luxury experience can explore Lyra Grandeur, the latest offering from Vietstar Cruises, which reflects a thoughtful evolution shaped by international cruise standards and traveler feedback.

“As a next-gen luxury vessel, Lyra Grandeur features panoramic-view suites, a jacuzzi, poker lounge, heated pool, and even a floating waterslide—blending high-end comfort with fun and adventure,” says Quynh Nguyen, Managing Director of Vietstar Cruises. “Guests can enjoy everything from kayaking and beach excursions to traditional tea ceremonies and island village visits.”

Signature Journeys Beyond the Bay

BestPrice Travel’s approach goes far beyond sightseeing. Collaborating closely with cruise lines, the company crafts itineraries designed to immerse travelers in Vietnam’s natural and cultural heritage. Highlights include exclusive routes through Lan Ha Bay aboard Orchid Cruise and soon-to-launch tours to the untouched areas of Van Don and Quan Lan.

Many packages pair cruising with added-value experiences such as countryside excursions, resort stays, seaplane tours, and sustainable tourism. The Grand Pioneers’ Legacy Journey, for instance, offers a three-day voyage through remote lagoons and quiet fishing villages across Bai Tu Long Bay, creating a more tranquil and eco-conscious alternative to the crowded tourist trail.

Exclusive Promotions and Priority Deals

Value is at the heart of BestPrice Travel’s mission. By partnering closely with top cruise lines like Mon Cheri, Orchid, and Hermes Cruise, the company ensures its customers receive the best offers available. Cruises that regularly feature strong deals are given priority placement, making it easier for travelers to find high-value options.

Seasonal promotions are another highlight. Customers booking through BestPrice Travel can access discounts of up to 40% and enjoy exclusive deals like Early Bird, Golden Days, and the Summer Mega Deal. Many packages include added perks such as limousine transfers from Hanoi and complimentary Hanoi street food tours.

Award-Winning Excellence Backed by Real Reviews

With more than 3,700 TripAdvisor reviews—3,500 of them five-star—BestPrice Travel has earned its reputation as a trusted leader. Its outstanding service has been recognized with nine consecutive TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards since 2014, along with consistently high ratings on platforms like Google Business (99% five-star reviews) and Trustpilot (97% five-star reviews).

For Max Jones, a traveler from Chicago, the experience was everything he had hoped for. After booking a journey aboard Catherine Cruises, he found a perfect blend of modern luxury and Vietnamese tradition, complete with an infinity pool, spacious cabins, and elegant dining options.

“Every moment on board allowed me to fully experience the beauty of Halong Bay, from the stunning landscapes to the traditional atmosphere,” Jones shared.

These aren’t isolated stories. They are part of thousands of unforgettable journeys BestPrice creates each year. As Halong Bay transitions from a sightseeing hotspot to a more curated and immersive destination, BestPrice Travel is at the forefront of that transformation.

With strong momentum, growing traveler trust, and exciting new offerings ahead, the company is not just navigating the waters of Halong Bay but redefining how they’re explored.
