The country has overtaken the US as the top destination for foreign direct investment (FDI), for the first time since 2003. By 2014, foreign firms invested $128bn (£84,8bn) in China, and $86bn in the US, according to the United Nations Conference of Trade and Development. The growth in China's foreign investment benefitted the services sector as manufacturing slowed. Globally, foreign investment fell by 8% to a total of $1.26tn last year. Recovering rapidly from global economic crisis in 2008, companies across gradual industries experienced improvements in performances in China. According to EUCCC Business Confidence Survey 2011, 78% of respondents report an increase in revenue and 71% report an increase in net profit. Furthermore, Chinese government recently announced 12th Five Year Plan, which emphases on upgrading industries, growing domestic consumption, developing the service sector, reducing income disparities and increasing health, education and social welfare coverage, therefore, by creating more demand, the Chinese government lifts the FDI inflow expectation even further. On the other hand, the growing scale of Chinese market also means increase in competition, which many European companies perceived a bit of struggle both from global companies and from domestic firms. Chinese companies are catching up with their foreign competitors. In particular, vast improvements have been seen in brand recognition, marketing and sales capabilities, and product quality. Consequently, the intensed competition greatly increased performance of industry in China. It is crucial to note that there is a substantial increase over the concern of Chinese regulatory environment; EUCCC’s Business Confidence Survey stated that the need for transparency and well-regulated market is more important than ever than before, an overwhelming 83% of respondents believe the promotion of fairer competition in Chinese market is important for China’s future.
