Chinanews, Shenzhen, Oct 15 – Related surveys show that 73% of the US-funded firms have made profits in China. Among 37% of these US companies, their profitability rate in China is higher than that in other parts of the world. Apart from these profitable companies, there are another 51% of the US companies that have listed China as the most important location for them to make investment in the next five years, said Liao Xiaoqi, Vice1 Minister of Commerce.

 

He made the statement when delivering an opening speech at the Sino-US Industrial Technology Cooperation Forum2 held in Shenzhen last Friday. The forum, organized by the Ministry3 of Commerce, was part of the event for the Ninth China High-tech4 Fair.
