Investment in Beijing from Different Countries and Regions

As the capital city of China, Beijing has attracted remarkable foreign business to invest in joint ventures. According to the pie chart, the investors in different enterprises come from 26 countries and regions. The investment of Hong Kong ranks first, accounting for 44 percent' of the total. Japan's investment makes up 19.2 percent. The third is the United States at 16 percent.
It is generally believed that Beijing benefits a lot from the outside investment. In the first place, a large number of joint ventures have been set up, which contributes greatly to the development of capital economy. Secondly, the foreign-invested enterprises offer many jobs to the residents in Beijing. This in turn relieves the problem of laid-off workers in the city.
Concerning the measures to attract outside investment, they are as follows. First, we should make special efforts to improve the investment environment so that an increasing amount of foreign capital can stream into Beijing. Second, we should take advantage of this opportunity to run the present foreign-invested enterprises as efficiently as possible. I am convinced that with the reform and opening up policy being implemented, Beijing will be a great attraction for foreign investment.
