Official statistics indicate 5,306 new foreign-invested companies were set up, a 25.5% rise from the previous year. However, utilized FDI totaled 92.01 billion yuan, marking a 5.7% year-on-year decline.

Sector breakdowns reveal services leading with 64.04 billion yuan, while manufacturing secured 26.09 billion yuan. High-tech sectors shone brightest, attracting 33.75 billion yuan and representing 36.7% of inflows— a notable increase of 2.3% in share from last year, with actual growth of 0.6%.

Source countries driving the uptick included Germany (up 86.6%), Switzerland (57.4%), and Singapore (10.9%). This selective enthusiasm points to China’s strengths in cutting-edge industries amid challenges like regulatory uncertainties and trade frictions.

Experts view the surge in new firms as a positive indicator of long-term optimism, even as capital utilization lags. Beijing’s focus on high-tech and green initiatives continues to pay dividends, positioning China as a key destination for strategic investments in a volatile global economy.
