CNY 287.7 billion in foreign direct investment flowed into China in January-April, down 10.3% from a year earlier despite 20,113 new foreign-invested enterprises being set up, up 6.8%.
CNY 166.3 billion went to high-tech industries, rising 20.3% and making up 40.4% of total FDI, while manufacturing drew CNY 78.9 billion and services received CNY 204.2 billion.
R&D and design services led the gains, with inflows surging 108.4%; computer and office equipment manufacturing rose 22.9%, and electronic and communication equipment increased 20.2%.
Luxembourg, Switzerland, France and the US all posted stronger investment into China, with inflows up 110.3%, 60.8%, 58.3% and 24.5%, respectively.
