This year, global cross-border direct investment dropped significantly amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

From January to August, the actual use of foreign capital added up to US$89 billion, down a slight 0.3 percent from the same period last year. In particular, the fall in the utilization of foreign capital narrowed month by month since April, which was better than expected, said Meng Wei, spokeswoman for the NDRC.

鈥淐OVID-19 hit the Chinese economy hard in early 2020, but the recovery was quick, especially in certain industries. American companies still see China鈥檚 consumer market as a great opportunity. China鈥檚 recent efforts to open insurance and asset management to foreign participation are also welcome,鈥 said Ker Gibbs, the chamber鈥檚 president.
