China's Information Office of the State Council held a series of press conferences on the "Effectiveness of High-Quality Development of China's Economy" on Friday, introducing the situation of solidly promoting high-quality development in the year 2024 and answering reporters' questions. At the conference, Zhao Chenxin, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced that more than 52,000 new foreign-invested enterprises were set up in the country in the first 11 months of 2024, an increase of 8.9% year-on-year.

Zhao introduced that the 2024 Negative List for Foreign Investment Access has been released and put into effect, with restrictive measures reduced to 29 from 93 in 2015, and restrictive restrictions in the manufacturing sector have been completely abolished. In 2024, China's entry facilitation policy has been continuously optimized, with the scope of unilateral visa-free access expanded to 38 countries and the scope of transit visa-free access expanded to 54 countries, with the length of stay extended to 10 days (240 hours). These systematic opening-up policies and arrangements include institutional and mechanism reforms in the areas of domestic single market, market access, fair competition and business environment, and reform opening-up has been further strengthened and accelerated.
The National Development and Reform Commission continues to rely on the working group of major foreign-invested projects to take the initiative to follow up on services and help solve problems in the process of landing foreign-invested projects. So far, the first seven batches of 51 projects have completed an investment of $92 billion, and 30 projects have already been put into operation. In the first 11 months of this year, more than 52,000 new foreign-invested enterprises were set up nationwide, up 8.9% year on year. China is relying on its large market to attract the concentration of global factors and effectively promote development through opening-up.
In 2024, China signed cooperation plans with 23 countries and the African Union for the construction of the Belt and Road, and coordinated the promotion of the construction of major landmark projects and "small but beautiful" livelihood projects. The volume of trade in goods with the Belt and Road countries reached US$2.54 trillion in the first 11 months, accounting for about half of China's foreign trade. Zhao said that China adheres to the correct direction of economic globalization and has been, is and will be an important contributor to global economic growth, and will effectively promote win-win cooperation through opening-up.
