BEIJING, Sept. 6(Xinhuanet)  - China bucked international trends in both outbound and inward investment, official figures have revealed.China now ranks as the fifth largest global investor in outbound direct investment (ODI) with a total volume of .5 billion, compared to a ranking of 12th in 2008, the Ministry of Commerce said on Sunday.On top of this, foreign direct investment (FDI) this year was set to "surpass 0 billion", compared to billion last year, ministry officials predicted.Globally, foreign investment decreased by almost 40 percent last year amid the financial downturn and is expected to show only marginal growth this year.The growth in both outbound investment from, and inbound investment to, China reflects the nation's rising economic power and attractiveness as an investment destination. China's annual outbound direct investmentThe ministry made the announcements during a press conference held in Xiamen on the upcoming United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Forum and the 14th China International Fair for Investment and Trade. Both forums will start on Tuesday.According to the ministry, China's ODI grew by 1.1 percent from a year earlier to .53 billion, which includes investment of .8 billion in non-financial sectors worldwide, up 14.2 percent year-on-year.Last year was the eighth consecutive year that the nation's ODI had grown. In this period the average annual growth rate stood at more than 50 percent."China is now the fifth largest investing nation worldwide, and the largest among the developing nations," said Shen Danyang, vice-director of the ministry's press department.In 2009, global ODI volume reached .1 trillion, and China contributed about 5.1 percent of the total.But "this is just a beginning." Although the figure is already "quite amazing," the volume is "not large enough" considering China's economic growth and local companies' expanding demand for international opportunities, Shen said."The growth rate (for ODI) in the next few years will be much higher than previous years," Shen said, without elaborating.China's ODI growth witnessed strong momentum this year. From January to June, the ODI in financial sectors was up by 43.9 percent to .84 billion, and in July alone, the ODI recorded .91 billion, the highest this year.Liu Zuozhang, director of the investment promotion agency under the commerce ministry, told China Daily that China's ODI in non-financial sectors would probably grow to billion this year.But while more Chinese companies were investing overseas, barriers and protectionism against Chinese investment were strengthened as well.Fan Chunyong, standing deputy chief of the China Industrial Overseas Development and Planning Association, said the challenge would not affect the upward trend of the ODI."China's ODI will go up to 0 billion in 2013, and the Chinese accumulative overseas investment will reach 0 billion by then," said Fan.According to the ministry, by the end of 2009, 13,000 Chinese enterprises had invested in 177 nations and regions worldwide, and the largest volume of funds went to the Asia-Pacific region. Europe and Africa ranked second and third in absorbing Chinese investment.Figures also revealed that more Chinese enterprises were focused on developed nations and emerging markets. During the first half of the year, China's ODI to the United States and the European Union rocketed by 360 percent and 107.2 percent respectively year-on-year. And investment into ASEAN and Russia grew by 125.7 percent and 58.5 percent.Jinny Yan, economist from Standard Chartered Shanghai, predicted that the EU would continue to be a hotspot for China's outbound investment in the coming months thanks to the ongoing European debt woes.As for FDI, Shen predicted it would reach a record high of 0 billion this year as China's consumption capacity gradually picked up and the nation's efforts on creating an open and transparent investment environment paid off.Responding to recent complaints by foreign businesses on the "worsening" investment environment, he said it "highlights foreign businesses are attaching more importance to the Chinese market".A report by the European Chamber of Commerce released last Thursday said China had made progress on improving its investment environment, but still needed to do more, especially on market access and the regulatory environment.While global FDI slumped by almost 40 percent last year, China's FDI was down by a mere 2.6 percent, according to the UNCTAD. China remained the second largest recipient nation of FDI, following the US.During the first seven months, China's FDI increased by 20.7 percent to .35 billion, and FDI in July surged by 29 percent.Zhan Xiaoning, director of the investment and enterprise division under the UNCTAD, said China was taking the leading role in the FDI recovery worldwide, even though FDI growth was not a cause for optimism globally.

BEIJING, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- China and the European Union (EU) are forging a reliable partnership as one's stability, growth and prosperity are in the interests of the other, said an EU envoy on Thursday.Serge Abou, EU Ambassador to China, made the remarks before Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao attends the eighth Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM8) and the 13th China-EU summit from Oct. 4 to 6. The ASEM summit, under the theme "Quality of Life: Achieving Greater Well-being and More Dignity for all Citizens," will focus on global finance and economic governance, sustainable development, and social and cultural exchange between Asia and Europe.China, as the second largest economy in the world, plays an important role in the meetings, Abou said, adding that the growth of Chinese economy contributed much to the world, especially amid the financial crisis.Abou described the relationship between China and the EU as "maturing partnership," with trade as "the first taproot" of the ties.The 27-member EU is China's biggest trade partner while China is the EU's second-largest trade partner and most important source of imports. This year, China-EU trade has witnessed remarkable growth and bilateral trade volume exceeded 300 billion U.S. dollars for the first eight months, up 36.2 percent compared with the same period last year.However, Abou was not satisfied with the figures. Trade and investment are not big enough considering China's 1.3-billion population, said the ambassador. He looks forward to more cooperation between the two countries in agriculture among other sectors."We welcome Chinese rise and Chinese prosperity," said Abou, adding that the EU would like to be more "engaged" in China's growth.Besides, China and the EU are also cooperating in energy, climate change and higher education, said the envoy.There are 200,000 Chinese students in Europe and tourists to European countries are also increasing, he added."The Chinese language is the second foreign language studied in my country France in secondary schools, just after English," said the EU official, adding that, by contrast, it was very "exotic" to learn Chinese when he was young."That means we have a solid basis to deepen our relationship," he added.

BEIJING, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo told Japan early Sunday morning to make a "wise political resolution" and immediately release the Chinese fishermen and fishing boat its coast guard seized earlier this week.Dai made the remarks when he summoned the Japanese Ambassador to China Uichiro Niwa in the wee hours. He was the highest-ranking Chinese official to make a response after the fishing boat and its crew were seized Tuesday in waters off the Diaoyu Islands and its captain was detained on Friday."Dai expressed solemnly (to the Japanese ambassador) the Chinese government's grave concerns and its serious and just position," said the Foreign Ministry in a statement.Dai warned Japan not to make a wrong judgement on the situation and urged it to make a "wise political resolution" and immediately release the fishermen and return the boat.The Japanese ambassador expressed that he would promptly report the Chinese position to his government, according to the statement.China decided Friday night to postpone a negotiation with Japan on the East China Sea issue, which had been scheduled for mid September, after a Japanese court ruled a 10-day detention through Sept.19 against the captain despite protests from China.Previously, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on Friday summoned the Japanese ambassador and demanded Japan immediately and unconditionally release the boat and all the crew, saying China's determination to defend its sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and the interests of the Chinese people was unswerving.Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Friday night when announcing the postponement of the talks that the Japanese side has "ignored China's repeated solemn representations and firm opposition, and obstinately decided to put the Chinese captain under the so-called judiciary procedures."She said Japan's acts have violated the law of nations and basic international common sense, and are "ridiculous, illegal and invalid.""Japan will reap as it has sown, if it continues to act recklessly," Jiang warned.On Tuesday, two Japanese Coast Guard patrol ships and the Chinese fishing boat collided in waters off the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea. No injuries were reported, but the fishing boat was then intercepted by the Japanese patrol.
