An official from the Ministry of Commerce stated that Chinas investment attraction situation is currently stable and improving, with foreign investors maintaining their enthusiasm for "investing in China." Ling Ji, spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, Vice Minister, and Deputy Representative for International Trade Negotiations, stated that Chinas investment attraction situation is currently stable and improving. By the end of 2025, Chinas stock of foreign investment is expected to reach approximately US$4 trillion. From January to July this year, 38,000 new foreign-invested enterprises were established, and the decline in actual utilized foreign investment narrowed by 6.2 percentage points compared to the same period last year, reaching RMB 438.33 billion. "Here you can also see structural changes.

In the first seven months of this year, foreign investment in high-tech industries increased by 32.7% year-on-year, accounting for more than 40% of the increase in foreign investment. Survey reports released by chambers of commerce in China from the United States, the European Union, and other countries show that most foreign-invested enterprises have achieved good profits in China, and their willingness to increase investment and expand their operations has generally increased.Market news: A fire broke out at the Atyrau oil refinery in Kazakhstan.Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: The US sanctions against International Criminal Court Judge Tomoko Akane are inconsistent with Japans position.On August 25, the 18th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) opened in Beijing, focusing on consultation and deliberation on "strengthening efforts to guarantee and improve peoples livelihoods and solidly promoting common prosperity for all the people."
