China News Agency, Beijing, January 19th (Reporter Peng Dawei and Li Jinlei) At present, Sino-US relations have encountered shocks and are hovering at the trough after the establishment of diplomatic relations.

However, the actual US investment in China has not been "frozen".

　　According to data released by the Ministry of Commerce of China on January 18, China's actual use of foreign capital in 2022 will be 1,232.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.3% on a comparable basis, equivalent to US$189.13 billion, an increase of 8% year-on-year.

　　"The data shows that foreign companies still have a strong interest in investing in China." Hu Run, the founder and chief researcher of "Hurun Report", said recently in the column of China News Agency's "East and West Dialogue".

　　According to Hurun, taking the top 100 foreign-funded and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan enterprises in China as an example, these companies have been operating in mainland China for an average of 57 years, and their average "age" is 91 years old.

There are about 15 to 20 companies that have been operating in China for more than 100 years.

　　In his view, these companies have very long-term strategies, and China is an important market for them.

They add value here as well as contribute.

　　"What impresses me the most is the long-term investment and long-term vision of these companies." Hoogewerf said, this is not a question of "I make a quick buck here and then pat my ass and leave". Some companies do this, but Not so with these top 100 companies.

　　Zheng Yi, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, also believes that American companies will continue to regard China as their primary strategic market.

Members of the American Chamber of Commerce have been doing business here for many years, making long-term investments in China and contributing to China's development.

This is no longer just part of a global supply chain.

　　"The Chinese market has great potential, so they have a good sales performance here. Foreign investment is still interested in the Chinese market." Zheng Yi said.
