中共中央组织部关于在防汛救灾中充分发挥基层党组织战斗堡垒作用和广大党员先锋模范作用的通知
近日,重庆等地遭遇强降雨,一些河流发生超警以上洪水,引发山洪和泥石流等地质灾害,造成重大人员伤亡和财产损失.当前全国即将进入"七下八上"防汛关键期,七大江河流域将全面进入主汛期,长江,淮河,太湖及松辽等流valuate China's business environment and actively explore new investment and cooperation prospects.
  That sentiment is in line with the latest data. China saw its newly established foreign-invested enterprises between January and June reach 24,000, a year-on-year increase of 35.7 percent.
  Pan Yuanyuan, an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of World Economics and Politics in Beijing, said that more efforts should be made to meet the expectations of multinational corporations in the second half.
  In addition to reinforcing China's advantages in the industrial chain, there is an urgent need to simplify procedures for FDI, such as ensuring the regulatory processes are streamlined and efficient, Pan said. This will make it easier for foreign investors to navigate the system, she added.
  Michael Hart, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said there is still room for China to improve its business environment, especially in areas of public procurement, standard establishment and protection of intellectual property rights.
  "For instance, our members in the healthcare industry expressed their need for more support in various areas including government procurement," he said.
  According to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the return on FDI in the Chinese mainland had been around 9.1 percent over the past five years, while in Europe and the United States, it was around 3 percent.
  Developed countries' investment in China continued to grow between January and June. FDI from France, the United Kingdom and Japan surged year-on-year by 173.3 percent, 135.3 percent and 53 percent, respectively, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
  Upbeat about the Chinese market, German conglomerate Siemens AG announced in mid-June that it will invest 140 million euros ($157.12 million) in Chengdu, the capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province.
  The digital transformation of China's industrial sector is advancing rapidly, which is why the local market is very attractive to Siemens, said Roland Busch, chairman and CEO of Siemens AG. China is the world's largest industrial market, and its share of manufacturing output accounts for nearly 30 percent of the global total, he said.
  During a visit to Beijing earlier this week, Yasuhiro Sato, chairman of the Japan-China Investment Promotion Organization, said that China, as the world's second-largest economy, is an important overseas market for Japanese businesses, and the vast majority of the organization's member companies are willing to expand investment in China.
